The 2010 class sweatshirts are now on sale in room 67, for $27, to be paid in cash. T sweater contains the entire class’ names on the back and a coliseum with two horses in the front as a design. The primary colors on the front are white and yellow and red on the back. Though seniors have already purchased many sweaters, not everyone likes the appearance of it.

Darren Dela Pena says, “They’re cool.” He thinks the decoration is fine and that it makes a good sweater.

From wikipedia:
Fats Waller (born Thomas Wright Waller on May 21, 1904 — December 15, 1943) was an American jazz pianist, organist, composer and comedic entertainer.

A skilled pianist -- widely recognized as a master of stride piano -- Waller was one of the most popular performers of his era, finding critical and commercial success in his homeland and in Europe. Waller was also a prolific songwriter, with many songs he wrote or co-wrote still known to modern audiences, such as "Honeysuckle Rose", "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "Squeeze Me". Fellow pianist and composer Oscar Levant dubbed Waller "the black Horowitz" in a favorable comparison to Russian pianist Vladimir Horowitz. A prolific composer of novelty swing tunes in the 1920s and 30s, Waller sold many of his compositions for relatively small sums, and as they became hits, other songwriters had already claimed them as their own. Thus many standards are alternatively, controversially attributed to Waller.
