It was a dark and overcast night. A sea of Vineyard Vines frocket t-shirts (shirts with pockets on the front) and Sperry top-siders approached Jesuit. The strong mixture of cologne and perfume filled the heavy air. A storm was brewing, both inside and outside the Terry Center. The Freshman Mixer had started. On Saturday, September 6, 2014, Jesuit hosted the...
Tommy Roy '20 advances another step, now an arm's length from the front door. His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti. He's nervous, but on the surface, he looks calm and ready. 'Fourth time's the charm,' he tells himself, hoping Shea Duffy will accept his homecoming proposal. He swallows his pride...
Intricate snowflakes lined the garnished hallways of Jesuit, with the reverberations of melodious tunes ringing throughout the night. Lights of all colors shone bright both on the outside of the school, and on the convivial dance floor.

The past few years, the student council has been trying to step it up and make the dance more fun and enjoyable for the kids.  They...
The traditions and activities surrounding prom are always a great experience. What's not to love about getting dressed up in a hot tuxedo and take pictures for an hour before congregating on a crowded dance floor. Prom is always bound to be a fun night filled with memorable experiences. The 2015 prom was the first for the 2016 class, whereas the...
As 7:00 PM rolled around, many students from Jesuit, Ursuline, and Hockaday made their way to the Terry Center for the annual Freshman Mixer.  Music blaring and refreshments ready, the Terry Center was not the room that held Prayer Services and Masses that night; it was a giant dance floor allowing for the many new freshman from each school...
