After listening and cringing to a cacophony of out-of-sync claps during the academic awards chapel, math teacher Michael Fenton took matters into his own hands, Feb. 11.

Fenton has implemented a special clapping technique in his classes called “puppet volunteers,” which requires classmates to clap all at once on his count to praise the complying puppet.

After an introduction by chapel coordinator Rob Foshee (“Here’s Mr. Fenton, who’s going to teach us how to clap correctly“), Fenton took the stage to demonstrate: “You just… clap.”
