![Dance sophomore Mason Evans and dance junior Brenan Gonzalez were just two of several male dancers in last year’s Spring Concert. “I think the biggest challenge [of being a male dancer] is all of the stigmas and stereotypes that come around,” dance junior Alex Thomas said. “[People say], ‘Oh, ballet or dance is not a sport and you don’t have to work as hard and this and that.’ Growing up and defying all of those odds is a challenge.”](https://www.themuseatdreyfoos.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/IMG_1547-1-e1568827392719-300x450.jpg)

![The Speech and Debate team reflected on their year with a Senior Toast on Monday, June 7th. The event, held via Zoom, allowed underclassmen to express their gratitude towards seniors. Juniors presented “toasties,” or their version of superlative awards, and crafted a video displaying the seniors' accomplishments and memories from their speech and debate career.
“The emotional connection [this year] was slightly strained [...] over Google Meet,” next year’s Speech and Debate Team President and communications junior Miles Wang said. “[Seeing] the seniors and the team grouped together on one call reminiscing the past four years with debate and moving forward [was exciting].”
“The online atmosphere was not ideal,” Speech Captain and communications sophomore Angelia Capalbo said. “Having this last serenade to the seniors on our team [was] really nice.”
“It's the way that we show our love to each other and it was really special,” Speech and Debate Team President and senior Katherine Oung said. “Speech and debate has really been one of the most impactful activities I have done.”](https://www.themuseatdreyfoos.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
