![Sophomore Briar Dorogusker (left) cheers on her sophomore team during the cup-stacking section of the relay race today during lunch at the Viking Stadium, one of several of this week’s Spring Spirit events. Dorogusker said she loved seeing the excitement during the events and being able to bond with her peers. “I really enjoyed the race and hearing the music and chatting with people,” Dorogusker said. “It was super fun because I talked to people who I had never talked to [before].” (Photo: Kristine Lin)](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/DSC_0033-2-709x900.jpg)
![Senior Damien Perez mixes a beat for the crowd for Quadchella during lunch on the Quad. This was the second of three Quadchellas this week for Spring Spirit, which allowed student performers to show off their talents to their peers. According to sophomore Aiden Son, though Spring Spirit has been fun it was somewhat undermarketed. “I completely forgot it [Spring Spirit] existed because… it’s under-advertised, but I think it’s a great event," Son said. "I love Quadchella."(Photo: Anna Feng)](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/IMG_0005-2-900x643.jpg)
![Palo Alto High School students flaunt unconventional items carrying their school supplies today during brunch across the Quad for “Anything but a Backpack” Day. The Spring Spirit Week theme left students with room for creativity as suitcases, grills and garbage cans covered the campus. Best-dressed participant and sophomore Briar Dorogusker, who brought a Santa Claus suit and sack, said she is excited to continue dressing up for the remainder of the week with her class. “I think that we [sophomores] have been doing a great job.” Dorogusker said. “During Fall Spirit Week I was so proud of [our class] and from what I've seen for the dress up days, we are having a great turn out. It seems like most sophomores have been doing something to reflect the theme.” (Photo: Celina Lee)](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/DSC_0034-1-900x600.jpg)
![A group of students and staff amble down the Viking Stadium track as part of Power Moves. Senior Madelyn Castro said she enjoys attending Power Moves to meet new people while spending time outside. “It [walking] feels really nice because I’ve been able to communicate with different people that I’ve never met before and it just makes you feel good,” Castro said. “You get a little bit of exercise to start off the week. It’s a good way to get energy to get through the week, especially on Mondays with the busy [school] schedule.” (Photo: Kristine Lin)](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/P1020804-900x506.jpg)
![Junior Rori Escudero buys Girl Scout cookies from junior Anushka Junnakar during brunch, Friday, at Palo Alto High School. According to a New York Times article, prices for Girl Scout cookies are at an all time high. A box of core Girl Scout cookies flavors increased from $5 to $6 a box, with unauthorized platforms selling boxes online for more than 6 times the original price. However, Paly students are still excited to purchase their favorite cookie flavors. According to Junnakar, balancing cookie orders is difficult yet rewarding. “It’s a bit stressful during cookie season because I need to manage all of my online and in person orders,” Junnakar said. “I [also] need to estimate the right amount of each cookie to order from the warehouse. However, I think cookie season is fun because people are so happy when I deliver their cookies.” (Photo: Celina Lee)](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/PIC-POIIC--900x676.jpg)
![Underclassmen Austin Mei (left) and Ashwin Rajan (right) face off in a game of chess during Chess Club Monday in Room 1107. The game has been rising in popularity for a year, gaining traction among students as an in-class hobby. Sophomore International Chess Federation (FIDE) Master Austin Mei attributes it to the pandemic."[Chess] gained a lot of attention in the pandemic, when everyone was on their computers," Mei said. "It hooked a lot of people, and I don't think it's too much of a problem if you're playing in class and learning well regardless."
