A Not So Special Event

by Samantha Schwartz ’15

Prom is the one night completely designated to seniors, other than high school graduation. Recently it seems more and more underclassmen are escorted to prom along with their senior dates. Senior prom was originally designed for the soon-to-be graduates and it should stay that way. On their special day, they splurge on their clothes, and get their hair, makeup, and nails done, and it should remain that way. Instead of taking the limelight from the seniors, the juniors should have their own event marking the conclusion to the end of the school year and the beginning of their last year of high school. Each year is special and each year should be given an event to celebrate that marks the end and the start of a new beginning either at Sherwood or with the rest of their lives.
