Semester ends in style
at ISE Proms
Vimolrat Singnikorn
International School Eastern held its ISE Proms Night 2008 at the Amari
Orchid Resort and Tower on May 23, an annual event held just before the
ending of the semester to say goodbye to those students who have completed
class 6.

prom king and queen, Jeong Bin Rew and Tashina Cedolin, share their first
dance after being announced.
This year, 19 students were leaving, and more than 80 students from
secondary education classes 3 to 6 attended. Everyone dined in style before
the “Cinderella” dance, in which all the female students left one of their
shoes in the middle of the dance floor, and the male students chose the one
they liked, taking it to the owner to be their dance partner.
As the evening drew to a close, the King and Queen of the Prom were
announced. The King was Jeong Bin Rew, and the Queen was Tashina Cedolin.
There was also the Prom Prince, Josh Jaruis, and Prom Princess Nam Bunnag.
After choosing which shoe he
liked best, “Prince Charming”
returns the shoe to its rightful owner.

On Sunday May 25, Mayor Itthipol Khunplome took time out from his
busy schedule to open Asian University’s MBA students’ Charity Bowling
Tournament.
 Does
the Mayor get a strike?
The MBA students were joined by undergraduates, alumni, staff, friends and
families for a bowling competition. A total of over two hundred people
participated, and they were honoured to have Mayor Itthipol to give a brief
address and to cut the ribbon to open the event.
The money raised is to be used to help children in the remote Mae Hong Song
Province, who are normally deprived of education and other developmental
activities, and to provide participation in the Chevron Royal Project for
long distance learning / satellite learning.
The students were assisted by the university staff to organise the event at
the blu O rhythm & bowl, at the Major Cineplex in Pattaya.
The winning team was made up of one part time MBA student and his friends
from Mitsubishi.
