From A Hopeful Senior '07

Dear Mr. Ben Gibbard,

When one thinks of senior year of high school, one distinct feature comes to mind: Prom. It is every senior’s dream to have the perfect prom; and when I say every senior, I mean every senior: from the nerdy ones to the carefree ones. As you may have already read, this year’s brilliant theme is “Such Great Heights.” As a parting senior who has dedicated her high school to studying and whatnot, it is definitely my wish to have a memorable prom. What better way to make it one of the all the “greats” of Rosemead than to be able to bring the theme “Such Great Heights” to life.

Personally, as a person who has a dying memory, it has been a challenge all year to remember every single event that takes place. If the memories of my mind were to someday leave, I would at least like to have had the memory that I DID have a great prom. I DID have a night to remember. I DID have one of the best days of my life. As Cesare Pavese once said, “We do not remember days; we remember moments.” Having you play at our prom would make the 2007 Prom a moment to remember. Not just to all the Seniors at Rosemead, not just to the hardworking Junior Class cabinet, but to a little girl that literally has a running mind. So please, if you will, play at our 2007 Prom named “Such Great Heights” because it would definitely bring my senior year to the greatest of all heights.
