Although there are seven days left until Spirit Week begins, seniors already came to class in costume on Friday, Jan. 18, for Senior Citizen Day. Wrapped up in bathrobes and accompanied by canes, seniors emulated the styles of their elders to show enthusiasm for the Class of 2019. “My inspiration for my outfit was taken from my aunts,” communications senior Sydney Greenspan said. “It was an opportunity for me and my boyfriend to dress up for what we hope to look like in the future, or at least on my part.”

Dance sophomores Alexa Olivier and Alyssa Foglia share their opinions and thoughts on some of the colleges represented at the fair. Along with competition, stress among students at Dreyfoos has increased. A survey conducted by The Muse in 2016 found that half of all Dreyfoos students felt extremely stressed as a result of the environment at school. This, coupled with the burden of applying to and getting into college, can threaten students’ performance in class and potentially in college.
