Sophomores Take Freshmen to the Wild West for Welcome Dance
On Saturday night the Sophomore Class brought the Wild West to the California campus as they welcomed freshmen with a thoughtfully planned dance. “Wanted” signs and rustic decor turned St. Gladys Patio into an outdoor saloon, where sophomore barkeeps with twangy cowboy accents and grins served up root-beer floats. “It’s wonderful that the sophomores put this on,” said freshman Alex Robert. “I’m looking forward to more dances.”
To set the tone for the evening, the Sophomore Class put together a TAC-Spaghetti Western, raising spirits and helping to break the ice with the College’s newest students. The performance took the audience on an adventure of hijinks, self-discovery, and action. “The entertainment was hilarious!” observed freshman Josiah Savannah. “You could see the hard work they put into it.”
Freshmen and sophomores got acquainted with one another and danced the night away. Music and laughter filled the air, cinching together a night of fun with a warm bow. “I’m so excited to integrate the freshmen into our community,” remarked sophomore Kayla Wang. “Events like these help everyone to come together in a wonderful way.”
