Students smile in school halls as digital sophomore Natalie Macadar takes their photo. Macadar’s film archive, displayed on Instagram, has provided her with a creative space to display her art. Taking film photos “feels more valuable, in a sense,” to Macadar, due to the time it takes for film to be developed. She captures moments of “cool things [she] see[s]”. The film rolls start blank, but later fill up with the memories that Macadar will discover with their development.

On Dec. 4, students, families, and alumni filled the Dreyfoos Hall at the Kravis Center of the Performing Arts for the 30th annual Prism holiday concert. Through donations from the family of novelist James Patterson, this performance has been held at the Kravis for the last eight years. This year, the music department added interactive elements to the display, such as the Grinch swiping presents off of the stage and vocal senior Ben Myers, dressed as Santa, sprinkling tinsel over singers during an a cappella piece. “The show has only gotten better since Ive been in Dreyfoos,” piano alumnus Hunter Fani (‘08) said. “It was [a] really amazing experience to see, and brought up a lot of memories of stuff that we used to do during Prism time and doing the Prism concert series. It was a real experience.”
