Story
Mid February of 2017, Class of 2020 member Paige Zepeda arrived to Amy Kuehl’s first period class with a Venti Starbucks cup of water containing one male betta fish.
The fish lived on the venti Starbucks cup of water for a few days and in that time acquired the name “Old Sport” via Class of 2018 members Duncan Kelley and Glen Nagle. This was a reference to The Great Gatsby which the English class the two were enrolled in was reading at the time.
After a few days of life in a Starbucks cup, Old Sport was moved into a fish bowl with gravel and plants supplied by Class of 2018 member Joey Babcock.
Old Sport lived in this enclosure for about a month until one student noticed that Old Sport was no longer moving. To avoid causing Kuehl sadness, during lunch students swapped out the first Old Sport for a new one without her noticing.
Generally neglected and without much natural light, Old Sport II lived for another month or so before dying of natural causes.
