You drive up to your date’s front door. A large, colorful sign decorated with a pun lays in the backseat. Your heart is racing anxiously, as the agonizing thought of rejection comes into mind, but you are ready to take a chance on your date. Your hands clutch the steering wheel, eyes flickering back and forth. You finally turn off the car, step out, and grab his sign and walk up to the door, a Jesuit keychain hanging out of your pocket…

Whether you went with a date or a group of just guys, on Saturday, October 19, juniors and seniors alike gathered on the Jesuit Dallas campus to enjoy a night of fun with their friends.
