SUNNYDALE HIGH celebrated the end of its term tonight in its annual star-studded awards ceremony. Collecting prizes were Stella Nightingale, S Nightingale and "Princess" Stella.
Presiding over the night was headmaster of the school, hedgehog Professor Gloves, M.A.(Univ. of Sunnydale).
"We have seen a great year here at Sunnydale High," announced the blue-nosed borderline small toy. "And Juniors! Though sadly it is past the Juniors' bedtime so they can't be with us tonight."
The Sunnydale Amateur Dramatics Society ("SADS") then gave an encore performance of the title track from the hit Toyish musical "Olivia!", which Sunnydale pupils recreated earlier in the year. The musical tells the story of an orphaned pink poodle toy, notorious for being shabby and dirty after years of mistreatment as a child being used to sweep the floor.
"Don't call us SADS!", commented one performer.
After the SADS performance was over, the award presentations began. The awards were presented Oscars style, with no-one knowing who won until announced by a series of "guest hosts".
The big winner of the night was Stella Nightingale, who won Best Pupil, Nicest Personality and Best Hair. She also won a prize for winning the most awards.
One surprise winner of the night was Jimothy Bandersnatch, who won Cleverest Pupil.
"Why's that a surprise?" he commented, saying it would be the lead story in the next edition of the school paper, which Bandersnatch edits.
Miriam "Mitzi" Bumpkin received a prize for "Best Effort by a Burrowing Woodland Creature".
Other awards might have been won by other toys in other years other than Year 8.

Claires Herbal Remedies expected to splash out for last tooth of Emily
CLAIRE MCKUCHEN, owner of Toyland's most profitable alternative remedies and holistic therapy retailer Claire's Herbal Remedies, is expected to spend significant amounts on Emily's last baby tooth tonight.
Market experts have speculated that the tooth will be up for sale under Emily's pillow "anywhere from 8pm Boston time."
McKuchen, a fiery haired Jellycat doll from Texas, is known to attribute significant healing powers to assets such as Emily's teeth, tears and, less palatably, "sneeze droplets".
"But a tooth is the prize possession of them all. There will only ever be a limited amount. Have one in your house and it will guarantee a long, healthy and happy life as a toy," said Claire in a syndicated publicity interview last year.
"There is absolutely no evidence for this nonsense," said Dr Sabrina Spellman, Claire's housemate and Toyland's only registered practictioner of what Claire terms "chemical-based Western medicine."
The price of Emily's baby teeth has gradually risen over the years as the supply has reduced.
"It's simple economics. Supply and demand. I'm already booking a round the world flight!" said the Tooth Fairy, who acts as broker in the sale of the teeth as they become available. Taking a cut from the amount raised, she leaves the rest under Emily's pillow.
Amounts left by the Tooth Fairy have risen from around 50 pence (about half a Toyish dirum) to as much as £2 (about 2 dirums).

It will be a Whitey wedding for Marissa
PERSONAL ADVISER TO THE KING AND LOCAL ALL-AMERICAN Marissa Cooper and long-time on/off bearfriend White Teddy have announced their engagement. The wedding is planned for the end of this month, on the 31st March.
"He proposed on a ski lift (thanks Ducky) at 2500 meters, before we did a black run," explained Marissa, 23. "Oh and it was a Tuesday."
"It was Valentine's Day," added Whitey, "and I had my best bowtie on. I'm not sure what I was more scared of: the black run, the 65 degree button lift or the proposal!"
The couple have dated for some years, on and off, with their longest break over 2010. Marissa has previously been linked with Hershey Bear and Dr Floxy [correction: Dr Flixy].
"I never dated Flixy. That was just a tabloid wheeze," Marissa commented to our reporter.
Kaitlin, Marissa's "smarter, more popular sister" (in her own words) is expected to take a lead role, as is the Cooper family dog, Peanut.
The Toyland Express will be covering the wedding of the Toyish century in full detail, with souvenir china available on request.
"This isn't the end of the storylines. It's the beginning," added the soft-hearted pair.

Tiger bread renamed giraffe bread by Toyland supermarkets
SHOPS ACROSS TOYLAND have rebranded their popular 'tiger bread' loaf (retail price 1 dirum), after a letter a Born in Africa giraffe wrote to one bakery, saying the bread looked more like her, went viral.
The letter read: 'Why is tiger bread called tiger bread. Guys, I mean, come on guys. It obviously looks more like me, a giraffe. It's just stupid to call it tiger bread. I mean come on people. It just doesn't make sense. Love from, Joanna Giraffe.'
The author, a giraffe who lives in Kensington Palace with the other Born in Africa toys, found herself at the centre of popular opinion and the spotty snack has promptly been renamed. Joanna Giraffe has no specific job in Toyland but is understood to now be considering a career in marketing.
Toys' reaction has been generally positive about the move. Local bread aficionada and founder of the ill-fated 'Bread Club', Ducky Mallard, welcomed the change.
'Bread's bread. I don't really mind what it's called. But I'm pleased Joanna's happy,' she said.
Toyland's only Tiger, Chinese restauranteur Jang Wang, was unavailable for comment but is understood to be extremely angry.
King Cheeky, a cheetah, commented that he had long thought the loaf looked nothing like a tiger, but that there were 'other spotty options that everyone might like to think about.'
The King was then overheard instructing his chef Lapinou to 'bake up some Cheetah Loaf, and get it on the market, fast!'
'I personally advise you not to do this, Cheeky,' Marissa chimed in.
Ducky is 11 years old.

Zachary and Chica think ahead to Character of the Year 2012
BRAND NEW CHARACTERS Zachary Bumpkin, a Build-a-Bear bunny, and Chica Gonzales are rumoured to already be contemplating success at the prestigious Character of the Year ceremony at the end of the year.
Every year, the best new character of the year is chosen from all arrivals since the Christmas before. The Character of the Year for 2011 was Mitzi Bumpkin, sister to Zachary.
Previous winners have included King Cheeky (2003), Ducky Mallard (2004) and Jimothy Bandersnatch (2010). All have gone on to be much loved by Emily. No character of the year has ever been sent to the loft or the Land of Old Toys after winning.
Zachary is a favourite for being soft and 'the perfect pillow', which Chica has established herself instantly as both a Jellycat bunch member and Sunnydale pupil.
