Senior Banquet

Class clown, most dramatic, cutest couple... Senior Banquet is coming up for the class of 2011! Senior Banquet is being held at Flowerfields in St. James on February 10th. The most anticipated event will be going on from 6:30 pm to 10:30 pm. However, all students are still expected in be in school then next day, regular time February 11th.
During the years, it has always been a complaint. Although many students have tried to get the day changed, the school will not budge. Principle Coady explains that “Students must attend school the day of Senior Banquet and are accountable of being there the day after”. He also says “I don’t have a say in when the date is, it’s more up to student council to decide”.
So many seniors ask, “Why not hold Senior Banquet on a Friday or Saturday night?”
Mrs. Paulik, advisor of the senior class council, explains “Costs are cheaper during the week and tickets will probably be eighty dollars each, and if it’s held on a Friday or Saturday night, ticket prices will go up a lot”.
What exaclty does it take to plan Senior Banquet? As Mrs. Paulik said, “Everything is planned the years before since Flowerfields is such a popular place”. However, there is also Senior Banquet Committee that is formed to help fund raise and get everything together. Senior Kelly Burke is a part of the Senior Banquet Committee, and helps to plan out the event. “I, as well as a few other seniors, are in charge of making sure things go according to plans, which means getting fundraisers together so we can decorate the place to make it look good”.
Being a senior is the most exciting time in your high school career. Senior Banquet is something that’s supposed to be memorable and lead up to a great ending to the year. Although it’s on a school night, with everything being planned out now, it will most definitely be enjoyable. Once you’re there having fun with your friends, you will surely forget about the fact that you have to wake up at 6 am to go to school. It is only until your alarm clock goes off the next morning when getting out of bed will be difficult.
