Today we wanted to give you a glimpse of that magical night. Considering there is not just a senior prom indicates that there really is no reason to not allow juniors, the other half of the upperclassmen, to attend freely. Groups of students arrive at Halifax County High School for the junior-senior prom in a variety of ways Saturday night including packed in a pickup truck. Happy Friday On May 8th our SLOCA High School Juniors and Seniors celebrated prom. So now I’m asking you: Why? Why shouldn’t juniors go to Prom? Is there even a reason, let alone a good one? If there is, why not just have a senior Prom with dates being any age. I ask myself, and others, why right now and I still don’t get a good answer. Attention Juniors and Seniors: Prom Season is near Tickets will be on sale during A and B lunch starting March 9th. I asked why three years ago and I didn’t get a good answer. I asked why, and the only answer I was met with was, “That’s just how it is”. I was met with a simple, “Juniors don’t go to Prom”. I remember sitting in my freshman homeroom asking my two junior mentors if they were going and being met with shocked faces. It has been this way since before any of this year’s seniors were in high school. The best way to make it clear to someone, or a few hundred people, to show you don’t want them somewhere is to not invite them to the traditional dress cat fight. Moravian Academy rolled out the red carpet for Upper School students on the Merle-Smith Campus on Friday. This is a perfect example of the stigma against juniors going to prom at North. Take a peak at the Facebook group for Prom this year, where girls show their dress picks to make sure no one is wearing the same thing, and you will see that the only people in it are senior girls and junior girls who are dating seniors. If you were Micah, the perpetually held back senior from “Easy A”, you might be able to notice that this is the status quo every year. What exactly is the status quo for Niles North? Juniors do not, and should not, go to Prom. Prom is almost here for us upperclassmen, but if you pay attention this year to who is buzzing about it, it’s mostly seniors stressing about last minute details.
