Winter Formal at Gatsby’s

Winter+Formal+at+Gatsbys

On Feb. 24, Executive Student Council members, as well as Winter Formal Chairs Seniors Cheryl Hao and Lauren Puplampu, hosted the Upper School at 2616 Commerce Event Center for an unforgettable “Winfo at Gatsby’s.” Decorated like an East Egg mansion, this 1920s themed dance did not disappoint, with an extensive dessert bar, casino room, dance floor, photo booth and hot chocolate bar that all looked as though it came straight out of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s imagination. In theme with the glamour of the roaring twenties, students dressed in their most festive dresses. Some stayed with the fashion of the time and wore flapper dresses, others came in with floral dresses to look like Daisy Buchanan. From the freshman dinner at 7:00 p.m. to the 11:30 p.m. ending, this party killed nobody.
