Taking a cue from the popular film “The Great Gatsby,” the prom theme will be transporting students back to the Roaring Twenties, where flappers and modernists created a “Touch of Class.”

 
“People should expect a fun night with good music,” junior Lydia Berkey said. “I don’t want to give away too much because we want people to come and experience it for themselves, but it should be a great night.”

 
The committee is focusing on a color scheme that utilizes gold, black and white with accents of red as well as silhouettes in the hallway along the staircase. An authentic 1920s car will be parked outside to help emphasize the theme.

 
“Being on prom committee, I learned a lot about things like prioritizing and especially problem solving,” junior Bri Matilla said. “I got to be creative with all of the decorations and we’re all working really hard to make sure there’s a lot going on so that everyone has a good time.”

 
The official DJ for the Detroit Lions and channel 105.5, DJ Chachi, will be playing a wide variety of popular songs. Hicks Studio will be taking the traditional prom pictures, and there will be a photo booth. A sit down dinner will also be served, each attendee will have their choice of herb crusted steak, herb crusted chicken or a pasta choice.

 
“We’re really excited about what we’re doing with the theme,especially since other schools like Lake Fenton and Linden have similar ideas,” junior Sarah Lawrence said. “Also, Justin Hang is bringing Disney Channel star Allie DeBerry, which will probably attract a lot of community members too.”

 
Hang had posted a video asking 19-year-old DeBerry to prom on March 15. He already had some online connections with the actress. He had Instagramed funny pictures created by an app of them together. She liked a few of them online and they joked about the photos.

 
“Although I was nervous for her reaction, it seemed to turn out well,” Hang said. “I tried making a legit video with the clips that are seen in the final video at first, but things didn’t work out so I just ended up talking to a camera about why she should go to prom with me.”

 
DeBerry is best known for her role as Paisley Houndstooth on Disney Channel’s “A.N.T. Farm.” Hang first discovered her when his little sister was watching Disney Channel and saw her on screen and had to find out who she was.

 
“Allie already knew I existed, so I decided to go for it and ask her to prom,” Hang said. “The worst she could say was no. I didn’t expect to get the 1.5K retweets on Twitter, but a challenge is a challenge so I took it on.”

 
Hang tweeted the video to her March 20 and less than an hour later got a response from her. She tweeted “Too funny! 1,500 rts and I’ll go!” After reaching 1K retweets on twitter, he got some help from Ryan Seacrest.

 
“I was surprised I got into contact with Ryan,” Hang said. “I never would have thought that it would happen. One of the student’s mom got me connected with an alumni who was connected with Ryan and she told me he wanted to do a segment with me.”

 
Soon after he reached the retweets, DeBerry tweeted “I’d better go pick out my dress!” on March 27.
