Senior Lancers were put under hypnosis during the annual Hypnotist Show on Thursday, Oct. 9. The show took place in the gym, where peers gathered to witness the graduating class act under the spell of a professional hypnotist.

The students were guided into several different “dreams,” such as driving a car and watching a sad movie.

The senior class enters the hypnosis phase.

The seniors’ first task was to drive their car while singing along to

the radio and swatting bugs.  Then they got pulled over.

The seniors were also directed into “watching” a sad movie.

Then they were guided into “watching” the

“funniest movie they had ever seen.”

Then those under the hypnosis were placed in a thunderstorm,

where many tried to seek shelter.

At the end of the show, the hypnotized seniors were told

to stand up, which would trigger the ending to the hypnosis.

When the seniors stood up, they were both mortified and

highly amused at what had just happened.
