Students Dance the Night Away
By Krishna Hegde, Editor in Chief  On Friday, May 14, more than 200 Fox Chapel Area High School students gathered in the Syria Mosque to participate in an annual rite of passage for most adolescents: the traditional High School Prom.

The performances did have its fair share of typical bands but also had some unique acts, such as a live art performance, several dance solos, and a comedy routine. FC’s Got Talent was anything but another Battle of the Bands. In the front of the auditorium sat the panel of judges: a KDKA newsman named Dennis Bowman, a talent agent, and Randy Mallinger, a randomly selected student who just happened to be wearing a suit that night.
