Prom attendees to arrive in disguise
Venue matches masquerade-themed dance
May 18, 2015
Lindenberg said Prom will be at the American Swedish Institute. She said the venue has historical and castle-like aspects to it.
Students now can buy their tickets at lunch and receive a mask to go with the masquerade theme. The masks come in a variety of colors and styles, according to Lindenberg.
Lindenberg said Student Coun- cil chose the theme by voting on a few different options.
“They latched on to the idea of masquerade, and it was the one that everyone landed on and agreed on,” Lindenberg said.
Senior Anline Lezama, Student Council vice president, said the masquerade-themed Prom will appeal to the seniors as they were major proponents of the idea.
“We chose the masquerade theme because a lot of the up- perclassmen had been mentioning that it was something they wanted to see,” Lezama said.

Lindenberg said she believes providing the masks will keep things equal for students.
Senior Autumn Ballesteros said she likes the idea of a masquerade theme.
“You can dance with everyone, and you’re not categorized,” Ballesteros said.
According to Lezama, students can’t bring their own masks because of security issues. Lezama said the theme created a conflict, but Student Council worked to resolve it.
“After going through approv- als we were able to get the theme approved and are hoping it will increase attendance,” Lezama said.
Prom takes place 9 p.m. to midnight May 16 at the American Swedish Institute.
