With Lent just around the corner, the juniors of 91黑料 helped their fellow students celebrate Mardi Gras this past Saturday with dances on both coasts.
In New England, the juniors transformed Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati Student Center into a galaxy far, far away, hanging sparkly star decorations and twinkling string lights under a detailed model of the solar system. Students entered to the Star Wars anthem and sampled cupcakes and fruit punch while enjoying a student-made mockumentary, which opened a window onto the inner thoughts of various juniors during classes.
Then the dancing took off! The centerpiece was a foxtrot competition, in which Bridget Stoutz (鈥23) and Stephen Brown (鈥25) carried first, with Tanner Sheffield (鈥23) and Therese Baker (鈥25) in second and John Kaifala (鈥26) and Laura Castillo (鈥26) in third.

The juniors in California, meanwhile, brought a luscious 鈥淩ainforest Caf茅鈥 theme to the Fritz B. Burns Auditorium in St. Cecilia鈥檚 Hall. Origami butterflies and jungle-animal cut-outs lurked on the walls, while vines woven with string-lights hung above the dance floor. Students gathered in this jungle setting for the evening鈥檚 entertainment, in which Anna Van Wijk (鈥24) channeled fellow New Zealander Steve Irwin on a documentary tour of the Scholar鈥檚 Glen (which looked suspiciously like TAC-California).
The dancing took off in waves of excitement, with a live student band playing a little bit of everything 鈥 jazz, swing, and Latin. As in New England, the Californians put their dance talents on display 鈥 with Baylor Gee and Francesca Vercillo (both 鈥24) taking first in the rumba and salsa competitions, and Bella Sanchez (鈥23) and Gregory Roberts (鈥25) in the tango.

With these joyful celebrations concluded, the students of 91黑料 prepare to take to the Lenten road in search of the deeper joys of Easter.
