8 april 2007 lifestyles the stentorian I ncssm un By Amy Bryson Tuxes and gowns will take over the North Carolina Museum of Life and Science on April 28 for the traditional NCSSM prom. “NCSSM’s prom is different from other proms because it is huge,” senior Cayla Noble said. “At home, our prom was in one big room. Here the prom is spread out through a whole museum.” The prom is spread throughout the lobby, first floor exhibits and even to the butterfly house, offering a unique, hands-on prom experience. “The bubble station and the bug house were the best parts of prom by far,” senior Quint Reid said. “There’s nothing better than being able to play with bubbles and look at some bugs on the most formal night of the year.” Senior Ishita Gandhi thinks that having prom in the Life and Science Museum is fitting for the school and students. “The museum is like Science and Math because each room is different and holds so many different things, but still ties in with the rest of the museum,” Gandhi said. “Similarly we all share different past experiences and livelihoods but we all join to form Science and Math.” Despite the variety offered through the prom tradition, some students wish for. a different location. “Prom would be much better if it was held in a more suitable environment other than a museum,” senior Kyle Bucher said, “such as a country club.” Top left: Cayla Noble and Brittany Fotsch pose for pictures outside ofRoyall.
