Students Swing into Greece at Spring Dance

New England

May 9, 2025

Members of the New England Class of 2028 celebrated the last dance of the semester in style last Saturday, whisking their fellow students off to ancient Greece for a delightful evening of dancing.

Attendees entered Bl. Frassati Student Center to find themselves stepping into the Mediterranean, surrounded by marble and creeping vines. “The decorations were on point,” said Adelaide Morrissey (’28). The tables were lavishly spread with fruit, nuts, cheeses, and olives. Freshman Madeline O’Kray (’28), known for her baking talents, made baklava, a Greek dessert featuring layers of pastry soaked in honey and topped with walnuts.

Once everyone arrived, the Class of 2028 proudly presented the night’s entertainment: a hilarious mockumentary about TAC dating. Students were rolling with laughter at the witty, creative observations the freshmen had made about the romantic culture at the College. “I’ll say one thing: they’re not wrong,” joked Greg Maynard (’26).

After a few dances to get things moving, Gabe Livingston (’28) took the mic to emcee the annual swing dance competition. Each couple was announced by name as they walked onto the floor. “There was a lot of talent,” Gabe said. “The judges had a hard time!” In the end, Sam Livingston (’26) and Teresa Cole (’27) took first place. The real joy of the competition, however, was the dancing itself. “I entered just to have fun,” said Bernadette Pfeiffer (’28). “That’s all that matters to me.”

As the night went on, dancing continued, and students made the most of the Class of 2025’s last dance. “It’s bittersweet,” said Teresa Bingham (’26). “We’ve made so many memories with them, it’s hard to say goodbye.” Many students stayed a little longer than normally, spending time with their favorite seniors. “I’ve only known them for a year,” said Madeline Rogers (’28). “But they’ve taught me so much and I’m going to miss them.”
