The Class of 2006 was mystified throughout these past few weeks as the curious seniors awaited the location of their well-deserved Senior Mystery Trip.
Although the location was not revealed until the students actually arrive on the scene, the anticipation is what makes the trip that much more exciting.
"I am so excited as to where we are going. I tried to ask around, but no one knows," said senior Erica Esposito, Hamden.
"It's really funny because everyone kept trying find out the mystery location from me, because I am the only student who knows the actual place. A lot of others think they know, but no one has been successful yet."
It's just really funny to see people trying to figure it out. It's going to be a big surprise when we get there," says Class of 2006 President, Amy Nardone, New Jersey. "I hope everyone has an amazing time", said Nardone. "Have fun and be safe Class of 2006."
This year the senior class went to Hula Hanks in New Haven. Students lined up outside of Public Safety at 7:45 p.m. and took the short trip to New Haven.
"I had a great time, it was so much fun. Its funny because you see so many people that you never knew were seniors," said Josh Sedlock, senior, Naugatuck.
As there are rules with any other school-sponsored event, students were required to abide by a few minor regulations. Provided transportation was used to and from the event, and students had to be graduating seniors who are 21 years of age are older.
These easy rules were located on the back of the ticket so there were definitely no surprises in that area. They are the same rules that have been enforced in the past.
At the beginning of the trip, all of the excited seniors packed the provided activity buses and took the long awaited ride to the mystery location that left at 8 o'clock at night. With a bigger turnout than last year, the ride there was definitely a trip in itself.
"We actually have a great turn out of over 350 people, which is more than last year so I am really excited. It [was] a great time," says Nardone.
An admission of $10 included food throughout the night, transportation to and from the mystery trip and drink specials. Considering the extremely cheap admission and all of what was offered, the seniors were definitely in for a treat.
"I had a great time. I expected a big bar but I didn't expect it to be that nice. All of the seniors came together. It was a great time. There should have been more pit-stops," said Mark Paradis, Goffstown, and N.H.
Mystery trips in the past have included bars such as Hula Hanks, Thirsty Turtle and the Brickyard, so there were definitely expectations to live up to.
All in all, the seniors of the Class of 2006 had a long deserved surprise waiting for them. The anticipation and curiosity was definitely worth the wait and all of the attending students had a night to remember.
