The seniors arrived at school before 4:30p on Thursday, April 27. All were eager to see what this year's JSB theme would be. There had been some guesses, of course. And now these proud predictions had to be put to the test. Dresses, both vibrant and beautiful, flooded the small chapel, along with their less colorful dates. The sophomore sponsors were announced and presented, embraced by loud applause. Then the theme showed itself on stage with an impressive narration and very talented solo actor, who look somewhat confused for a time: Beauty and the Beast.
The seniors waited for the other classes to board their transportation. Excited chatter filled the now emptying room. Then the class of 2017 walked down the "Dalat red carpet" (or the closest thing to it), arriving at their bus.
After a short drive, the bus stopped, to everyone's surprise, next to Gurney. The seniors got off the bus and entered the G Hotel. They were organized into a line and waited excitedly to be called into the ballroom. One by one, the couples entered, and when they did, they were greeted with a breathtaking sight. Many red roses decorated the dimly lit room. There was books, lots of food, and, of course, impressive living room furniture.
The night went wonderfully. The skits were very entertaining. The tributes didn't drag on and were actually enjoyable. But quite possibly the best of all was the music. The creative lyrics and talented singers really added to the magical feeling of the banquet. As Sam Hofer (12) said, "JSB was fun and I really enjoyed the songs they wrote for people."
The finale of the night was a giant ballroom dance. Some couples were excellent dancers, while many waddled to the beat awkwardly, but all enjoyed the special occasion.
This year's juniors really went all out with their JSB. Their hard effort and hours of work really showed itself. They certainly made their seniors proud. The class of 2017 couldn't have asked for a better junior class.
