1. Jack Nash (12) stands on the dancefloor, captivated by the light and the awesome chaos of the surrounding litness. This is Jack’s fourth homecoming dance. When asked about what brings him back every year, he remarked that “I love the energy of the dance. Seeing all the kids getting hippity hoppity out there always makes me want to get jiggy with it.” Sounds like Jack had an absolute blast!
2.While we unfortunately did not have the usual football game and festivities to precede it, the Homecoming Dance reached levels of litness that may have surpassed those of previous years. This year’s theme was “A Night in Bikini Bottom,” meaning that the dance was inspired by the cartoon classic Spongebob Squarepants. The Black Box and PAC lobby were transformed into an underwater dreamland perfect for a fun fall dance.
3. Homecoming is not only a great time for students, but also for the chaperoning teachers. Mr. Stromeyer was particularly popular amongst students at the dance, playing ping pong with them and taking pictures such as this one with Elizabeth Duncan (12), Marie Sirenko (10), Cathy Chen (10), and Sarah Park (10). While he recounted that the dance was “a terrible time” and reminded him “why [he doesn’t] miss high school,” we’re sure deep down he had a blast hanging with students and reliving some of his own Priory Homecoming memories.
4. As always, the dance always brings together groups of friends who have an awesome time. Here, good pals Jerry Tang (12), Nicholas Barber (12), and Andrew Sirenko (11) take a momentary break from dancing the night away to pose for a quick squad picture. Andrew Sirenko (11) said that the dance was “better than Krusty Krab Pizza” and that his favorite part of the evening was “watching Mick Jeon slow dance with Patrick and Kieran Pandey dance with Spongebob.”
5. Mr. Marsheck sits at his post in the PAC lobby, keeping a friendly eye over students. When asked to reflect on his time as a chaperone, he said “It’s fun to watch where the kids I teach fit in. Some go straight to the dance floor, others dip in and out, and some little guys...they just don’t quite make it. But there’s always next year for them!” Nice optimism, Mr. Marsheck!
