According to junior Charlie Chen, the turnout for the best-dressed event was better than he expected, but more students should be allowed to join in the competition. "People are super energetic and they're demonstrating their Paly spirit, but two people is not enough," Chen said. "There should be a higher bar for the number of people allowed [to participate]."

The Spring Spirit Week theme left students with room for creativity as suitcases, grills and garbage cans covered the campus. Best-dressed participant and sophomore Briar Dorogusker, who brought a Santa Claus suit and sack, said she is excited to continue dressing up for the remainder of the week with her class. “I think that we [sophomores] have been doing a great job.” Dorogusker said. “During Fall Spirit Week I was so proud of [our class] and from what I've seen for the dress up days, we are having a great turn out. It seems like most sophomores have been doing something to reflect the theme.” (Photo: Celina Lee)](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/DSC_0034-1-900x600.jpg)
