Mardi Gras 2008
The Mardi Gras Pageant and Ball, the most prestigious student event of the year at Archbishop McNicholas High School, honored 40 senior students who have given their time and talents in service to the school and community throughout their high school experience. During the evening ceremonies on Sunday, January 20, 2008, a Mardi Gras King and Queen were crowned. The King and Queen are the highest vote getters amongst the senior class. The King, Queen and Court then presided over a formal dance open to all McNicholas students.
The Captain of the Ball and Maid of Honor were announced on December 19, thus kicking off the Mardi Gras season at McNicholas. The Captain of the Ball, Andrew Michael Clements, received the second highest votes among young men in the senior class. The Maid of Honor, Katherine Lee Losekamp, received the second highest votes among young women in the senior class.
The Senior Court consists of the top 20 young men and top 20 young women who have actively participated in school events and organizations. Membership on the Court is a result of four years of compiled voting from students and faculty. The top four sophomore and junior young men and women constitute the honor guard.
The theme of this year’s Mardi Gras was Color of the Wind. Ms. Gwyn Bush, science teacher at McNicholas High School, emceed the event.
The Sisters of St. Joseph, who founded McNicholas High School, brought the Mardi Gras tradition to the school in 1952. 2008 Mardi Gras Court
