BLUE CLASS BONDING. After three years of anticipation, senior Ava Schluender committed to going “all out” in blue for class color day. “I’ve been waiting to do blue for so long, and I feel like it’s such a solid color. It’s kind of relaxing,” she said. Sporting American Eagle jeans and an Aeropostale top, Schluender stayed on theme down to her socks. She was especially delighted to observe the same commitment from her peers for their last Homecoming. “...it’s a pretty color. I feel like everyone actually did the theme this year, which was nice to see because it kind of shows that connection between everyone in the senior class,” she said. The verdict is in: blue was worth the wait.
