Senior year is filled with flashy events that entail the unforgettable memories everyone experiences during their last year of high school.
Senior Assassin, Senior Skip Days, and Prom are all fun ways to celebrate how far one has come.
However, these occasions don’t encapsulate what people accomplish during their high school careers.
A wearable white canvas ended up becoming a relic of seniors’ individualized schooling.
Senior pants and overalls were a trend started in the early 2000s and became popular through the use of social media. High schools all over the United States now participate in this craze.
“I just wanted to have fun this year!” said senior Jerry Reinhardt, one of the few EHS senior guys to participate in this creative trend.
Some seniors stayed true to Eaglecrest High School and went with a red, black and white color scheme. Others used as many colors as possible to give their pants a youthful edge. Sports and clubs that seniors are involved in heavily influenced some of their designs too.
Whether using ribbons, frills, fabrics, patches, or layers and layers of paint, senior pants mark how close seniors are to graduating. The pants symbolize moving on to the next chapter of their lives, which makes a significant milestone as they graduate.
“I hope to try new and different things this year, things that I would be scared to do as an underclassmen,” said senior Evie Foster.
At the Raptor Rally on August 21, the red carpet was finally unrolled after spending three months curled up in a tight closet. The red carpet event had an atmosphere similar to The Beach Boys song with the lyrics “I got a letterman’s sweater, with a letter in front, I got for football and track. I’m proud to wear it now. When I cruise around the other parts of town, I got a decal in back. So be true to your school now.”
The pants become a keepsake that are cherished years after high school to reminisce the sweet nostalgia of being a teenager again.
“I’m gonna make sure that I do everything I possibly can to not forget the moments” said senior Saba Dewo, “So I can cherish them later in the future.”
