On December 2nd, Mass Academy hosted its annual semi-formal at WPI’s Higgins House. Having chosen a Tangled-inspired theme for the event, the junior student government was charged with elegantly decorating Higgins House to bring the movie to life. Of course with Higgins House as the location, the job was already half-done, with the building’s secluded but cozy nature, wooden pillars, and rustic appeal making itself iconic amongst kids who are used to school cafeterias as dance locations. 

However, the hard work of the class officers paid off, affording Mass Academy students’ and their guests an unforgettable night. According to Mass Academy junior Derek Desrosiers, the dance was “fun for all students and peers who went, giving a chance for everyone to relax before the holiday break.”

A big thank you to the junior class student government advisors, Mrs. Chase and Mrs. Burns, for being involved and dedicated to the event, and for their guidance. Planning an event like this for the entire school is no easy task, especially with a team that is still new to the environment. Their leadership shouldn’t go unnoticed.
