Class of ’14 breaks prom tradition

Posted on June 1, 2013 by Amber Cordero in Op-Ed

Every year that has passed, was one year closer to my senior year in high school. The first two things that come to my head when I think of senior year is prom and graduation at the Hollywood Bowl. I Think that’s what almost every student looks forward to it as well.

Because of our poor fundraising, our sponsors and class officers are predicting our senior prom to be located in the big gym. Prom in a gym where the paint is old, ceiling pieces falling, and there is no air conditioner. I can imagine it already, the gym full of people dancing with no a/c.

My plans for senior year have changed drastically. I was expecting to go to a nice place and dance the night away. Prom night is supposed to be a night to remember. Although it might not be the best place to have prom, there are some bright sides.

   Prom tickets this year are over a hundred dollars, but if prom would be in the gym it would be around $20. If prom were to be in the gym I suggest that we should have a good theme, dj, and good prom decorations.
