Friendship Dance took place on Saturday, Nov. 1 in Robert’s Gym from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.. The dance is a tradition that started in 1939 between Webster Groves and Kirkwood High Schools.
The Friendship Dance serves as an event to unite the two rival schools before the Turkey Day game held on Thanksgiving. However, at Webster, there are differing opinions about the dance and the plans that people have for it.
Freshman Carys Blew plans to get ready with friends, take pictures, go to the dance, then attend a party after.
About the dance Blew said, “I think it’s smart since it’s a day with Kirkwood since we are rivals with everything else like sports.
Sophomore Noelle de Foy said, “I’m not excited for the dance that much. I’m mostly looking forward to the before and after and seeing some of my Kirkwood friends at the dance.”
De Foy is most excited about hanging out with friends and will before and after the dance.
About the concept of the dance, De Foy said, “I like it, but I don’t really care about the dance itself.”
Junior Jack Silverman said he will go to take pictures and eat with friends before the dance and will go somewhere after with them as well.
He also said “[He’s] not excited about the actual dance.”
Senior Kara Lodes said, “I like that it’s joined with Kirkwood because it’s a bigger crowd and feels like a bigger event. I think they should keep it this way because I know some people have friends from Kirkwood they are excited to see at the dance.”
