Seniors take over the Metreon for senior ball

It’s that exciting time of the year again when one popular and anticipated event takes over the lives of many students. Tradition dictates that a date be taken, dazzling dresses bought and dapper tuxedos and limos rented. Some savvy students go above and beyond with trips to salons, flower boutiques, and fancy restaurants.

On May 25, CVHS took over the Metreon in San Francisco for this year’s Senior Prom, themed “Take My Breath Away.”  Students got the chance to experience jaw-dropping performances by wandering entertainers that could walk on stilts, swallow swords, lie on a bed of needles, and even tell the future. The students were also presented with seemingly endless tables of complimentary refreshments, ice cream, fresh fruit, cookies, cake, and chocolate fountains.

Guests were able to walk outside and observe the beautiful city view in the fresh air, which gave couples and friends opportunities to share special moments of appreciation for such a sensational night.

When students weren’t enjoying those extravagances, the dance floor welcomed all students to show off their moves to fun, upbeat music, including blast-from-the-pasts and the latest songs. Neon glowing sticks distributed by the DJ adorned many necks and wrists.

           “I had a great time with my handsome date and the venue was beautiful,” senior Natasha Nand said. “I loved the chocolate fountains and photo booths!”
