Seniors prepare for their last fashion show of the year. This time it’s for fun. No judges. No winner. No competition.
On May 25 seniors will hold their last fashion show. The show is neither a competition nor a contest; there is no winner and there are no judges. The event will take place in the South East High School auditorium during homeroom and is free of charge. The senior fashion show started last year and is expected to continue as a tradition for future years.
The leadership senior cabinet is in charge of organizing the show along with their advisor Ms. Che, a Visual and Performing Arts Academy teacher at SEHS. Only senior girls and guys will attend and participate. Organizers expect to have about 15-20 people participate this year.
“There are things that we are improving this year to make it better than last year,” says Heidi Siguenza, Associated Student Body President (ASB) at SEHS. Siguenza also stated that she believes the show will be successful because they had a lot more people sign up than expected.
Senior class president Pauline Velazquez said, “Of course it’s going to be successful, everybody loves fashion shows.”
Many SEHS students are anxiously waiting for the fashion show which is only weeks away.
“I’ve never gone to a fashion show at this school, so I can’t wait to see this one,” says Vianca Rodriguez, a junior at SEHS.
On May 5, leadership went to different homerooms to recruit people who wanted to sign up to participate in the upcoming fashion show. Everybody who signed up got accepted to participate and they will be modeling it in the same order that they signed up.
The senior girls will be modeling prom dresses while the senior guys model tuxedos by Ana Rosa, a local designer in South Gate.
“I’m so excited to see all the people on stage and what they’ll be wearing,” says Mariana Reinoso, a senior at SEHS.
For many seniors it is important to cherish these last events because these are memorable moments of high school. “I can’t believe this is one of the last senior events I am going to participate in,” says Marcos Lopez, a member of the senior cabinet.
