DURHAM Oyster River High School senior Maggie Sperry was dressed up in a black, sparkly, full-length gown. This is the dress I was supposed to wear last year, Sperry said Wednesday night. I was on the prom committee and then it was canceled. Everyone was skeptical about a prom on the field, but this is nice. At least it s something.
Oyster River High School juniors and seniors gathered outside, on the school s turf field, Wednesday to celebrate what was cleverly called a Mask-erade, instead of a prom.
Sperry said she feels she has lost half of her senior year because of COVID-19. Her friend Matteo Caruccio said they all have lost so much.
