By: Hanna Nyman Many people dream about their special junior prom day. The big dresses, nice dinners, cute dates, slow dances, the whole production. But what happens when other grades invade that space? Many, many juniors have voiced thier opinions on the matter, but here to switch up the game is sophomore Clara Hawkes.
Although Hawkes herself is not attending prom, she knows of plenty of people who are including fellow 10th graders. When prompted with the question as to if non-juniors should be able to go to prom or not, she responded with, “I think it is okay for non-juniors to go to prom, but I do think that the juniors need to be asked first or at a higher priority.” Most juniors would agree with this statement. After all, it is called ‘JUNIOR Prom.’ What about if the non-junior is accompanied by a junior? What if they aren’t? Hawkes stated that she believes that since it’s called ‘Junior Prom,’ that juniors should ask other juniors, before considering dates in other grades. Out of a random selection of 70 Bear River students that were surveyed, 49 agree with Hawkes. Hawkes was then asked if she felt that juniors have the right to be upset when other grades show up to their prom. “Yes!” she said, “It is literally their prom after all.” Because, yes, juniors are upset that other grades are going to their prom. Especially the couples that don’t include a junior at all. Hawkes herself even said, “it should just be a juniors thing because we will all get our own when we are juniors.” Juniors have a right to be upset with this situation. Students in other grades sympathize as well. After all, non-juniors will get or have had their prom. If you are not a junior, maybe take a step back and let them fully enjoy their prom.
