Senior Shirt Trends

Megan Bajo, Senior Staff Writer|September 16, 2015

On the first day of the new school year each Academy senior can look forward to wearing their senior shirts they designed over the summer.  This tradition has been running at Academy for a few years. What makes these shirts unique is that each senior class has their own slogan to represent their grade, and they include that on their shirts. This year’s seniors chose the saying “We’re Kind of a B16 Deal.”

Since the process of creating a shirt can be long, some seniors, made their shirts weeks in advance in order to avoid the stress of crafting it  overnight. For others, procrastination crept up on them, forcing an all nighter in order to create the perfect shirt. One of the sisters who waited till the last minute, Mary DeRosiers believes that, “after I finished my melt down, I was up all night making my shirt on top of finishing up summer work!” The lesson from this is…DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE!!
