The Valparaiso High School auditorium was a sea of college T-shirts at Monday night’s Senior Banquet. Members of the senior class of 2013 came out to celebrate the end of a great four years with an evening of food, laughter and camaraderie at its best.
Catered by Pestos and held in the cafeteria, the banquet gave seniors a chance to relax and soak in the reality that commencement is just around the corner.
After dinner, the students enjoyed the grand reveal of senior royalty winners.
