Homecoming

Students can win prizes for Halloween costumes

Students who want an opportunity to dress up for Halloween and also win a prize should stop by the Homecoming Steering Committee booth between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. today on Wescoe Beach.

When students arrive at the Halloween Costume Contest booth, a member of the committee will take their pictures with a Polaroid camera and post the pictures on a bulletin board to be judged. All students are encouraged to vote for their favorite picture, even if they opt not to participate in the costume contest themselves.

Homecoming Steering Committee President Bill Walberg also advised students to arrive at the contest early because the number of votes each picture receives will determine who the winners are, not the number of votes compared to how long the picture has been on the bulletin board.

The Halloween Costume Contest is an individual competition. First, second and third place winners will receive a prize, but the Homecoming Steering Committee was not yet sure what that prize would be.
