While Homecoming may be considered just a school dances to many students, Student Government is working extremely hard behind the scenes to help deliver a memorable milestone for high\u00a0schoolers.<\/p>\n
“There is a theme to Homecoming which is a superhero theme, but to the dance there is no theme,”\u00a0sophomore vice president John Apo\u00a0said. “It\u2019s just come with your best formal attire, and you\u2019ll be able to have a great night with your hero.”<\/p>\n
Each year the responsibility of planning Homecoming,\u00a0from booking the DJ to decorating the\u00a0gym, lies on the shoulders of sophomores. With the many complaints from last year, sophomores tried to create new and innovative decorations to enhance the theme of the dance.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019re going to put up black paper, and then we\u2019re going to use a lot of glow sticks, like maybe\u00a0glow sticks inside balloons, and putting glow sticks inside water bottles because it makes them look brighter,”\u00a0sophomore president Annalise\u00a0Wohlford\u00a0said. “Maybe do something with glow sticks as centerpieces. We\u2019re\u00a0 still working it out because it\u2019s a work in progress. We have to figure out how much things cost.”<\/p>\n
Cost has become a concern for the sophomores. With their lack of a treasurer and deficit from the $400 DJ, they are counting on Homecoming ticket sales to start rolling in if they have any hopes of a\u00a0pancake\u00a0breakfast their senior year.<\/p>\n
