Palo Alto High School seniors gathered early Monday morning for senior sunrise, an annual tradition in which 12th graders gather to watch the sunrise, marking the beginning of their final year at Paly. The Paly Voice asked students what they thought of senior sunrise.

“When I woke up, I was like ‘why do I need to go?’ I told my friends I was going to go … but I was kind of regretting it. But then I went, and it [senior sunrise] was really fun — and the cinnamon rolls were really good.” – Juli Spreckelmeyer, 12th grade |

“It was pretty good. We got to socialize with some of the senior class — definitely a little tiring though cause I’m almost passed out right now. … Some people even slept through the night, which builds that camaraderie in the senior class.” – Liam Li, 12th grade |

“The sunrise aspect of it was kind of underwhelming. Because of the trees, you couldn’t really see the sun at all, so it was just night and then day. But, it was fun to spend some time with my friends.” – Elsa Lagerblad, 12th grade |

“It was a little earlier than I’d like to wake up, but I think it was really nice to have the opportunity to meet as a whole class and have that experience together, watching the sun rise on a new year.” – Rei Prior, 12th grade |
