Flawless Figure

On May 12 Benedictine Held its Annual Figure Event

Figure is a yearly program the seniors of the year put on. In preparation for Figure, Benedictine seniors practiced during their advisory periods and leadership classes. While the Figure looks like a difficult maze of movements from the spectators’ eyes, Cadets said it isn’t as hard as it looks, due to meticulously placed pieces of tape creating a grid for the Cadets to base their positions.

Cadets brought dates from schools ranging from Freemen, Collegiate, Saint Gertrude and other local schools. The dates were faced with a difficult task of finding a dress that coincided with the strict dress code of a stark white floor length dress with minimal pattern. Surprisingly, the dress wasn’t the most difficult part of the date's attire, rather the shoes were. The guidelines for the shoes were to be white flats with a closed toe. These shoes proved nearly impossible to find and were sold out across Richmond. Because of this, many dates had to settle for open-toe high-heel shoes and struggled through the intense walking.

Overall, because of the intense practice done by the Cadets, this year's Figure was a great success with minimal mistakes and an overall tight look.
