The voting and video submission for the proposal has come to an end as of Oct. 22. FUHS ASB is hosting a Homecoming assembly on Oct. 25 to crown the winners of the Homecoming Court. ASB is revealing the freshman, sophomore and junior court during the assembly, but the senior royalty will be announced during halftime at the homecoming game.

This year’s theme is “Roll the Dice at Casino Night!” The theme has a Monte Carlo vibe with a dark color palette featuring colors such as black, gold and red.

If students have purchased any class packages during registration, they do not need to worry about purchasing another ticket as it is included in the packages. Students who have not purchased class packages go to room 60 during break or lunch. Oct. 21- Oct. 25, tickets are currently being sold for $55 with IFL and $60 without IFL. Tickets are on sale at the door for $65, but it is exclusive to FUHS students.

To bring a guest to the homecoming dance, students must get a permission slip in room 65 or the office. Then the guest must obtain their principal and parents’ signatures. After, the guest will have to get a final signature from Mr. Ma. After that, bring the form completely signed and filled out to room 65 to purchase the ticket. The last day to fully turn in your guest pass is Oct. 23.

The dance will mainly be in the gym, however part of the dance will be in the outdoor area between the gym and the stadium. There will be games such as cornhole and pickleball There will also be food trucks.

There will be a DJ from the Pegler company. A Google form is posted on ASB’s Instagram account for students to add songs they would prefer to dance to.

Freshman Tyler Lee was able to find a bedazzled purple jacket to wear during their homecoming reveal.

“We had been told to come in all black and then I got handed a jacket. It was just lying around the supply area,” Lee said.

Not only did ASB have to dress up, but had to put on a show and Freshman Jacob Mariani couldn’t help but feel excitement to share the theme with his close friends.

“At first it was kinda weird because I have never played poker before, but it ended up being really fun because I got to throw cards and was able to see all my friends,” Mariani said.

BEAST

CADE students in Scott Hudson’s third period class created a witch prosthetic and plant monster costume to benefit the city of Santa Fe Springs’s Lantern Tours on Oct. 11.

In order to bring “The Haunting of the Witch” to life, Hudson’s students used face molds to shape the prosthetic with clay before painting it. They made a spellbook as a prop.

Hudson left clipboards and binders for all of his students in order to get the process right.

“You can’t mess it up, it has to be one and done,” senior CADE student Charlie Eisenacher-Knott said.

For the plant monster costume, they had to work on a lot of small details like teeth, petals, and leaves, on top of having to carve out a fake pumpkin to make the hood. Senior Isabella Savage recalls the lengthy process.

“I had to stay in after school for like the entire week, for two weeks. And at lunch. So I was working on it basically, almost day and night. “

At the tour, the snap connecting the helmet to the ghillie suit broke, causing the students to have to improvise.

“We had these two little baby monsters too, which were handpieces,” Savage explained. “We had to remove those for a second and focus on the head being stable. If not, they would fall.”
