Just a few hours after the conclusion of the Stoughton High commencement exercises for the Class of 2013, the new graduates made their way to the O’Donnell Middle School for Party All Night Long, the annual alcohol-free and drug-free post-graduation bash.
This year, the theme for PANL was under the sea and the halls of the OMS were transformed to look like an oceanic wonderland. There was even a large pirate ship in the cafeteria, which housed numerous Vegas-style casino games, games of Simon Says, tattoo artists (they were temporary tattoos), artists drawing caricatures, DJ entertainment, and an endless array of late night snacks, including ice cream and slush from Daddy's Dairy.
Students entered by walking on a surfboard situated on a paper mache wave.
In the gymnasium there was an inflatable pedestal joust ring and an inflatable bungee run course set up.
The highlight of the party came at 3 a.m. with hypnotist Jim Spinnato making his annual appearance at PANL. He had close to 20 graduates shouting in excitement, throwing tantrums, smelling one another, and dancing to a number of hit songs as their classmates laughed along. A full photo gallery of the hypnotist show will be posted this weekend.
