Seniors give candles to special friends and invite them to attend MidNight march. Seniors walk through each dorm singing “Up with the Purple.” As seniors pass the rooms of special friends, they “dipped” their candles in a sign of friendship. Midnight March is held at outside locations and concludes at the Senior Bell with singing the “Alma Mater” and ringing the senior bell.
