Last Saturday, on the St. Gladys Patio beneath a starry Spring night, the Class of 2022 hosted peers and friends for the annual œChez Martin� dance.  Illuminated by lights strung overhead, the Salinas Ensemble ” led by pianist Danny Salinas” (™22) played live jazz featuring several rotating student performers. Throughout the dance, student enjoyed limbo competitions and funny anecdotes from the soon-to-be-departing seniors.

For this, the final all-campus dance of the year, the seniors chose the theme of œStarry Night� ” the same theme they chose for the first dance they hosted four years ago. Banners bearing Van Gogh™s painting of the same name adorned the space. œIt was really cool seeing how far our class has come� reflected Nicole Walshe (™22).

Maintaining the nostalgia, for the pre-dance entertainment the seniors played the same short film they produced during their freshman year. œIt was really sweet and pretty funny,� said Katelyn Woods (™25). œIt was a great way for them to reminisce on their time together.�

Swing dancing and waltzing filled the dance floor, with students moving electrically one moment to a fast song, then enjoying the steady slowness of another. Dancing went late into the night. œThat was one of my favorite dances of the year,� said Trinity Chester (™25). œIt was really bittersweet with it being the year™s last dance. It was a great reminder of the community we have here.�
