Hall decor article

The Friday before homecoming, students came in after hours to carry on the tradition of decorating the halls for Homecoming week. The juniors worked late into Monday evening to make sure their decorations were perfect. That’s not to exclude the other classes who all worked hard to at least beat the freshmen.
The freshmen had a “Paradise theme” which is pretty much the nice way to say a beach theme. According to sophomore Ben Taylor “Their hall decorations are deadly for giants” after he ran into their lights that had dangled down, twice. Other than that their décor was not murderous in any other way. Thankfully all the decorations were taken down on Monday. There you go Ben; it is once more a giant safe hall.
Sophomores decorated using an “Under the Sea” theme, also stating that the Bobcats would sleep with the fishes at the homecoming football game. Many of the upper classmen believed that the sophomores cheated, since they used the decorations from the 2008 prom. The sophomores were very hurt when they were accused of cheating. But common, if the stuff is available then use it. It after all it’s not a crime. Haley Nolan, upon her return, was scandalously caught saying that “the sophomores should have won.”
Juniors set up a “Jurassic Park” theme. Complete with a huge purple dinosaur (not Barney) and hanging vines FROM THE CEILING. They included a slogan stating “Bobcats are extinct!” Robin Hill was caught saying “It was difficult decorating the halls because only a few juniors volunteered. It was still really fun!” It was a great idea for a hall theme, and it was funny to see people stop and stare at Robin Hill’s master piece the non-Barney purple dinosaur. Way to go Robin, you put the school in awe of your ability to create not only a dinosaur but a purple dinosaur!
And the seniors represented the “streets”. Senior Una Schroeder’s closing statement about the hall decorations was “peace to the streets”. The senior hall was overly crowded what with the blocked off outline of a body and the cardboard pile (seriously what was that suppose to be?)
While every class worked hard to have the best decorations the juniors dominated the other classes taking home the points for the hall décor. Sophomores came stalking in at second place. Freshmen came sauntering in at third place and the seniors came limping in with a terrifying fourth place. They did not beat the freshmen, ouch! That’s a major slap in the face.
In the scandalous judging of the halls both the sophomores and the freshmen were prohibited from winning first because of their décor choices. Like how the sophomores used the prom decorations from 2008 and the freshmen used their decorations from their eighth grade gradutation.
