Isaac Nicolosi (‘25) decided to propose to Stephanie Ma (‘25) in the library, holding a sign decorated with lines from musicals and plays Steph herself had starred in. "Plumley was very helpful, Emily Shao helped out a lot," Isaac said. "Emily and Plumley compiled a bunch of Steph’s lines from the play and musicals, and I wrote it on the poster." Stephanie’s favorite lines were woven into the poster through multilingual quotes, and from center stage to prom, Isaac made sure the spotlight stayed on Steph.
