Larry Liu
Freshman Representative
College of Bel-Air '99

Now this is the story about how Larry's life got flipped, turned upside down. And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there, I'll tell you how Larry became the rep of a club called CMS. In Vancouver, born and raised, on the playground where he spent most of his days. Chilling out, studying, relaxing all cool, and all shooting some b-ball outside of the school, when a couple of guys, they were up to no good, started making trouble in my neighborhood. He got in one little fight and my mom got scared, and said "You're moving with Amy and Alex in CMS!"

He whistled for a cab and when it came near, the license plate said "fresh" and had a lantern in the mirror. If anything he could say that this cab was rare, but he thought "nah, forget it, yo homes to CMS!" He pulled up to U-hall about seven or eight, and yelled to the cabby "Yo homes, smell you later!" Looked at his club he was finally there, to sit on the chair as the rep of CMS.
