Junior Prom

Junior Prom

 

Prom has always been an event specifically for seniors. It has been an event to celebrate seniors’ graduation with friends. Rumor has it that this coming year, there will be a junior prom. Many people were shocked when they heard that junior prom is going to be happening. Crystal  20’ says, “I’m really excited that there is going to be a prom for juniors. I really like dances so this is really exciting.” Some of the seniors disagree about the occurrence of a junior prom. Julian Pacalso 19’ says, “I think this is very unfair because I am a senior and prom is usually an event just for seniors. Since there is a junior prom, I think that the attendance policy for seniors should be applied to juniors as well.” Fiona Chen from 19’ also says, “I think junior prom kills the anticipation for senior prom, something that’s supposed to celebrate the end of high school, something that you will only get to experience once in your life.” It seems that many juniors like the idea that another dance is going to happen at Whitney Young while Seniors do not. However, in previous years, student council has tried to make other dances happen as well, like the winter formal, but sadly they never came to fruition . Hopefully, this year it will be successful!
