Masquerade
Having been present at last year’s Senior Ball as the Campus Center Manager on duty, it was a very different experience to attend this year as an actual senior. I’m rather excited about graduation and wherever my steps after Smith will take me, but last night may have been my first “it’s really coming to an end” moment.
As the Campus Center already holds a special place in my heart, Senior Ball was all the more bittersweet. The building looked beautiful. I remember how much work goes into getting this place into that kind of condition and I can speak for all seniors, I’m sure, when I say how much we appreciate the efforts of all the student and professional staffers.
The seniors and their guests looked fantastic. I’m certainly a people watcher and enjoyed watching everyone enter the CC in their dresses. It was so nice to mill around, running into people I don’t often get to see, checking in and catching up. I find it so fitting that such an event should be hosted in the Campus Center – a building very much at the heart of the Smith Community. There’s really nowhere else on campus I’d have wanted to be last night. -EAM
