Juniors Thomas Chilinguerian and Joelle Pearson celebrate after being crowned prom prince and princess at the Valencia Ballroom on May 4. “Before the voting came out, I didn’t know Prom Prince even existed so this was a very big surprise when I found out that not only is it a thing but that I won as well,” said Chilinguerian. I was also nervous when I won because I normally do not do well in front of crowds but it wasn’t as bad as I thought.” Photograph by Lachlan Gemmill-Edwards
