By Ashlee Galloway Communications Editor As seniors are quickly approaching the final months of their high school career, many students are striving to make lasting memories with the friends they have made throughout their time in high school. For the past four years, Executive Council has worked to raise as much money as possible to provide the class of 2016 with the prom of their dreams. Not only has all of the hard work of the Executive Council members and officers paid off, but the entire class has helped to raise money by selling Wolfgang candy and Sheetz books through fundraisers. The money raised from these efforts has helped to buy decorations for prom, and lowering the ticket price to $40 a person. Out of the 362 students in the senior class, 243 purchased tickets to prom. 390 prom tickets were sold in total, raking in enough of a profit to pay off the $6,000 venue and catering. With the cost of prom totalling over $6,000, the senior class has made it all possible. The profit made from prom tickets alone, has totalled nearly $16,000 dollars to pay for the venue, decorations, and DJ. This money, along with profit from the Wolfgang fundraiser in early March, has also made it possible for every graduating senior and staff member to receive a gold football pin to wear in honor of Stone Hill and Nick Mankin, who would have been graduating with the class of 2016 in June. Following the weeks of prom planning and anticipation, prom is fast approaching. Most students have waited all year to hear who has been voted to be on this year’s prom court, and the winners have been announced. Prom court voting took place the week of March 14-18, and the top five males and females with the highest votes earned themselves a chance at being crowned king or queen. The senior males with the most votes were Ian Adler, Brooks Argento, Dalton Grove, Alex Keough, and Joel Zamora. Seniors Tristan Schluderberg, Courtney Dimoff, Brooke Gladfelter, Emily Ayre, and Kelly Snyder stole the votes for the girls. Senior Joel Zamora will be making his prom court debut alongside his close friend from church, Morgan Pierce. “I chose to invite her because she’s a sweet girl… She’s been my friend for awhile.” As most people, Zamora never thought he would have won over the votes for prom court. “It was funny because, like, a week or two before, my friends were telling me how they were going to vote for me, and I started joking about how I’d be prom king, but I didn’t think it would actually happen (to be on court)… It felt nice.” Tristan Schluderberg was also very appreciative, adding in that it was “a complete honor to be voted for by the senior class.” “I did not expect to be on the prom court, so when I found out I felt very grateful,” Schluderberg said, “It was a surprise. There are so many other girls that are deserving of being on prom court that I never pictured myself being one of them.” Seniors Nathan Law and Hannah Kirsch are planning on making their senior prom a special night to remember. “I’m looking forward to spending a special night with my girlfriend,” Law said, “It’s one of those nights you remember for the rest of your life, and I get to remember it with my best friend and girlfriend.”
