“So, I have to dance with my mom?” Almost all Mount Michael freshmen ask this very question on the week of the annual “Mom prom.” After the dance is over, though, members of every class are glad that they got the chance to spend such a great night with such special ladies.
          The night was kicked of by Fr. Richard Thell O.S.B. asking a blessing on the evening. A full meal really got the evening started. Everyone was served steak with baby potatoes and vegetables, followed by apple pie a la mode. Regarding the dinner, sophomore Aaron Cox said, “The good food really set the mood for the rest of the night.” After the tables were all cleared, Fr. Richard got his annual chance to do his “David Letterman thing.” Students then got a chance to give their mother a rose and tell her “I love you.” Following Fr. Richard at the podium were senior student body president Matt Luettel and freshman class president Mark Tosone. Both speeches were well given and well liked by the crowd. Sophomore and former freshman president Ben Hankey said, “I know how nervous you can get before something like that and I thought they did really well.”
          Finally, everyone hit the dance floor. This year’s dance was marked by an especially high number of people spending most of the night actually dancing. The YMCA was one of the first songs to grace the speakers, followed by the Cha-Cha Slide. Of course, the seniors helped to lead the dance so that no one would look too ridiculous. The DJ even got students to serenade their mothers with famous love songs by singers like Elvis. Overall the night was a great success. The night was best summed up by Mrs. Peggy Poe who said, “That was a blast.” -Brent Lockee: Article & Photos.     Ron Kmiecik: Video
