With thesis defenses behind them, the Class of 2023 came together to host the last dance of the semester, the Chez Martin: a fundraiser for the senior gift, a final hurrah, and a fun night for all.

Dancegoers first made their way to the Fritz B. Burns Auditorium in St. Cecilia Hall for the evening�s entertainment, a video retrospective of the Class of 2023�s time at the College. While much of the video highlighted students� past shenanigans, it also had its heartfelt side, featuring a memorial for late classmate Maggie Yanoschik (�23), who passed away in 2021. 

After the entertainment, guests made their way to an unconventional but picturesque venue: the wide walkway behind St. Gladys Hall, overlooking the athletic field and the mountains beyond. The dance floor was decorated with an elaborate chalk mural of the sun surrounded by a bright fractal of purple and pink blossoms. In keeping with the night�s overarching theme, the film Tangled, the electric string lights were hung with paper lanterns, while �Wanted� posters of beloved seniors flanked that of the film�s dashing protagonist, Flynn Rider.

Under the bright spring stars, friends danced the chalk flower into oblivion and lingered over fine charcuterie; there was even a limbo competition, in which Brigit McNeil (�23) proved the undisputed victor. All in all, it was a splendid finale, both for a year of splendid dances, and for the Senior Class itself.
