’50s Day will take place on April 2 and 3 in the Freshman Cafeteria.
“’50s Day is a chance for students to get a feel for the 1950s in America,” said Katie Gray, a coordinator of the event and social studies teacher. “It gives the kids a chance to really experience the ’50s, not just talk about it.”
This year ’50s Day will feature activities such as a jell-O bake off, graffiti wall, dance instructions and a discussion about McDonalds.
“I’m very excited. I’m going to dress up,” said junior Anita Rogers. “I want to see how many people dress up and go over the top with it.”
’50s Day has only been taking place for the last few years here. It first started when a change in the curriculum forced department teachers to eventually discontinue the previously practiced Black Powder Day.
“Kids should be prepared to participate in contests and also get a little out of their comfort zone for a day,” Gray said.
