Last Thursday, more than 100 students attended the Hull High School junior-senior prom at Granite Links Golf Club in Quincy, for many marking the near end of their high school career with a night of dancing and fun.

The moment was a long time coming. Senior class president Maeve Mulvihill explained that the student government has been fundraising for prom since freshman year. One major fundraiser that contributed to prom was the recent gift card raffle, where businesses donated gift cards that students raffled off to community members.

“We are very thankful that so many local businesses were so generous,” said student government advisor Lindsey Donovan. Their generosity resulted in a highly successful fundraiser that brought the cost of prom tickets down to only $40.

Mulvihill noted that although many seniors attended prom last year as juniors, this year had a different experience in store. Seniors walked down the “promenade” at the Hull Yacht Club for pictures in front of parents, as well as “watch[ing] our classmates get prom king and queen which was amazing!”
Madison Constable was named prom queen and Daniel Gianibas was named prom king. For them and their classmates, the best part of the night was the main feature of prom itself – the dancing.

“The highlight of the night,” agreed Donovan, “was how happy the students were dancing with their friends! How free they were.”

“Even though we haven’t graduated yet, it is an amazing way to end our time here in Hull,” said Mulvihill. “I think it was the perfect way for our class to come together for one of the last times.”
