No Makeup Monday

In March, Del Norte girls participated in NoMakeup Mondays and it turned out reallywell. As I interviewed senior, ShayMondragon, she explained to me that she isconfident with her natural beauty because shefeels like she doesn’t have to cover herself upwith makeup to be beautiful. AudreyPlucinski, who also helped come up with thisidea, shared during her interview: “I get tosleep in more and it feels so nice. I feel likemy skin can breathe.”Our goal was to empower young girls tobecome more confident in themselves withoutthe makeup and I believe we succeeded. Wefeel the need to impress people with our looksand social media makes self love go waydown. It is a joy still seeing several girlsparticipate in this movement and not beingafraid of what people think and just lovingtheir natural beauty.-Mackenzie Wolfe

She said her favorite part is that “[I]actually know what [I’m] doing, and [I] feel like [I’m] actually good at it.] She wants toimprove at her dribbling, and the reason she wanted to play was because she played in pee-wee, loved it- and wanted to do it again.For baseball, I interviewed Zeek Campbell, a senior.

Get Sprung at the 2018 Spring DancesThe Black Light Dance

One of the favorite dances at Del Norte High School is theBlack Light Dance. Every year a dance is hosted in the middleschool which is filled with black lights and neon colors. Oneof the most casual dances that the school hosts draws a crowdevery year. But, as time goes on the dance seems to be less ofan excitement. With the dwindling amounts of students thatchoose to participate in extracurricular activities and optionsin music becoming harder to come by, the dance seems to

have become almost boring. But, the sophomore class decidedto change the fate of this dying dance and revive it. As a

fundraiser this class decided to turn the event into more of a“rave” style dance and had one of the students choose themusic seeing as they are connected to the student body andknow what they will dance to. A student who would like toremain anonymous said: “the dance was much better but stillhas a ways to go”. As time goes on and more attention isbrought to this event hopefully it can be restored to its true

potential.Prom 2018

Prom is the dance that almost all upperclassmen (and a fewlucky underclassmen) look forward to from the first day ofschool. Prom has always been an event that was planned bythe junior class and this year the juniors did an exceptionaljob. The event will be held on May 5th and is on the mind ofmost and a hot topic around the school. The theme of this

exclusive dance is “A Starry Night Masquerade” and will beheld in the high school gym. The colors that were selected are:gold, silver, and dark blue. After prom which will take placeafter the conclusion of the dance at midnight is set to be at thegreen houses at Hooper Pool. After prom has always been apleasing end to an eventful night with food, games, and lots offun. Towards the end of the concluding event is the givingaway of prizes, and every student leaves with at least one. Inpast years prizes have been things such as flat screen TV’s,mini fridges, and even a Ping-Pong table. As the date drawscloser it is an excellent idea to begin finding a dress, and if atux is desired order one ASAP. The Columbine flower shop onMain Street in town has excellent options for corsages andboutonnieres that should be ordered at least a week in

advance. It is an exciting time for all those attending so enjoyyour time there if you are attending (especially the prizes)!
