The current junior class was not able to have a semi-formal last year and is in the process of planning its dance for this year despite a series of setbacks. “If we do have it at the high school, it’s not your ‘typical’ semi-formal,” Junior Class Vice President Samantha Tyska said. “I hope that our grade reacts to that and doesn’t get angry, [but are] more so appreciative of the idea that we’re able to hold an event for our class.”](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Screen-Shot-2021-09-29-at-9.40.55-AM-900x603.png)
