Prom gives students a passport to paradise

With tropical flowers behind their ears and tiki beads around their necks, PHS and MHS students danced the night away at senior prom.

The theme was passport to paradise, complete with mocktails, sea shell chandeliers and a scenic view from the outside patio, all of which was planned by the parent’s club.

Held at the Trader Vic’s restaurant in Emeryville on the night of May 21, the dance was available to every senior with a ticket, as well as their dates.

“My favorite part was the view overlooking the water,” senior Audrey Meyersieck said. “It was such a unique setting and beautiful night, it even had a picturesque sunset.”

The venue featured a dance floor with strobe lights and a DJ, a game room for students to play poker and take goofy pictures.

“Most of my night was spent dancing it up with my girlfriends or trying to catch the attention of the DJ,” Meyersieck said.

Senior Jaeger Moes said that the crab potstickers may have been his favorite part of the event.

“I loved dinner, it was really fun to just sit around and talk while eating some really good food,” junior Halley Wolin said.

As a junior, Wolin had a different experience from many of the seniors, because she knows she will be going again next year so it did not feel as sentimental for her, she said.

Despite not feeling the bittersweet emotions that many seniors felt, she said it was still fun to see everyone dressed up and having a good time together taking pictures.

“The best part was when we were all dancing to Mac Dre at the end,” Moes said. “It was full of good vibes, a good ending.”
