The boat party is truly a special occasion. It’s a time when old Roseéns return home and it’s a time when the new ones get to see their new one. It’s a time when the girls dress up and it’s a time when the boys get to gawk and see if the hot ones are in their class or not. It’s the first occasion for the students to associate. Everyone sits, eats and tells stories of their summers. The laughs and cries echo over the lake Geneva.

As the boat reaches Geneva the fountain sprays the decks, misting those outside trying to look nice for their selfies. As the boat turns away the real fun begins. The committee cranks up the music and the lights dim. Almost everyone swarms in like bees to dance to the music. Teachers flit in and out on patrol. Lights strobe. The evening is purely dedicated to the student body’s enjoyment. Even as the cruise arrives at its destination back in Rolle, students are still partying, like Ramon. Slowly, things dissipate and everybody gradually finds their way back to school. It’s a joyous occasion; definitely one of Rosey’s finest traditions.
