The deadline for senior Cap and Gown order forms is quickly approaching as the last day to turn them in online is Dec. 18. Dating back to Nov.5 when Herff Jones originally presented all of the information to the senior class, the class officers have been working hard to keep everything on track.

“It was a lot of pressure choosing what exactly we wanted and thought the entire class would want,” Senior class treasurer Thu Nguyen said. “We had to get opinions from everyone.”

Along with being a class officer comes the responsibility to make decisions that will effect the senior class as a whole. For example, they had to come up with the design for the announcement cards. Even though the announcement cards are the same for everyone, seniors have the option of different inserted name cards, stickers, and an option of their own senior portraits in the cards. Announcements, caps, and gowns will be distributed to seniors late next semester before graduation in June – something that Senior class sponsor Kim Rastberger hopes goes perfectly.

“I like for it to all go smoothly,” Rastberger said. “For the singers and speakers [of the ceremony] to go off without a hitch. I would like for it to be ceremonial.”

With the anticipating and excitement growing from Rastberger and the senior officers, they have one thing in mind.

“I hope that day [graduation] all parents are incredibly proud after all these years,” Senior class president Soo Yang said.
