“Is it Really a Dreyfoos Senior Year Without a Generation Day?”

Seniors share why generation day is a significant part of spirit week

Bridget Frawley, Writer|March 24, 2021

The freshmen class of 2021 cheers as fluorescent leggings, vibrant jackets, and metallic leotards dance on the gym floor. That freshman class of three years ago reached the senior generation day rite of passage today — maybe not through dancing — but with the outfits that filled halls and computers.

“I always enjoy generation day because it gives people an opportunity to be creative and to get a glimpse into what life was like a few decades ago. I’ve been looking forward to ‘80s day because I’ve always wanted to participate in the aerobics outfit tradition, and ‘80s is the most different from how I usually dress. I enjoy matching with my friends and taking photos with them … Since my junior year didn’t have a traditional ending and I did virtual school for the first semester of this school year, it was hard to process that I’m a senior and that this is my last year at Dreyfoos. Spirit week defines the school year and signifies what grade level I am in.”

“For the seniors this year, since a lot of our traditions are being canceled, it’s a big deal to everyone [and] it’s my favorite day of spirit week. I love all the outfits and usually everyone looks the same and all the seniors get the same stuff from Amazon. I love the tradition about it. It never gets old. The best part is when everyone takes pictures in the field and they’re like, ‘We have to go back to lunch,’ and unfortunately it wasn’t like that this year. Everyone has to keep their masks on and only half the people were there, but I love how for years and years people have been dressing the same.”
