Dune Part 2 is the sequel to Dune Part 1 and both are based on the book series Dune following Paul of Atreides and his journey with the Fremen. A third in the Dune series has not been officially confirmed but is likely due to the success of the first two movies and the ending of Dune Part 2.

BESTIES TAKE ON PROM: Senior Bella Gonzales dances with junior Helen Rodgers during prom last weekend.

“At dinner before I told my friends they better dance with me and they told me ‘no,’” Gonzales said. “But Helen said, ‘Of course I’ll dance with you,’ so Helen was the first friend that started dancing.”

Instead of taking a traditional date, Gonzales invited various junior friends to join her at prom.

“Instead of having a guy date, I invited a bunch of my junior friends,” she said. “I actually am so happy with that decision because it was just so fun having all my girls with me.”

While the day of prom provided many fun events besides just the dance, Gonzales still enjoyed the dance itself the most.

“The whole day of prom there are so many fun things to do,” Gonzales said. “We made bouquets together and got ready, but I was most excited to be at prom and see everyone I knew, and to see everyone dressed up.”

Gonzales especially appreciated the vibe stablished at prom.

“It was such a positive environment where everyone was hyping each other up, and we were all so high energy,” Gonzales said. “Its just such a positive environment at prom where everyone is so happy and having a good time.”

Besides the welcoming atmosphere, Gonzales especially looked forward to the dancing.

“My friend Ellie and I were getting into the song ‘Beauty and the Beat’ together, and also ‘Cupid Shuffle,” she said. “They are just such classics.”

When looking back on the dance and her senior year as a whole, Gonzales says she will forever remember how kind the class of 2024 is.

“I will always remember how close and how kind every single person in our class is,” Gonzales said. “I feel like we have no mean girls, no enemies, and we all love each other and love being together.”
