The underdog at MHS is the semi-formal, a dance for freshmen and sophomores.

The event was nearly cancelled last year as ticket sales yield only enough to break even. However, more than 200 tickets sold for this year’s dance.

Both the freshmen and the sophomore class congresses prepared for the outer-space-themed event in the cafeteria. Sophomore Lauren Riordan, who helped with painting, described the setup of the cafeteria.

“It took a long time, but it looked completely different. Definitely worth it.”

Attendee Christian Trafford talked about his feelings in regards to the evening. 

“I was over the moon to be there! Get it? Because it was outer space themed.”
