This Sat, Oct. 2, FHN’s gym will become a replica of Gotham City, as up to 1,000 students attend the Dark Knight theme homecoming dance.

Homecoming will be held in the big gym from 7 to 10 p.m. as dances in the past have been, but some changes have been made to make this years’ Homecoming memorable.

“I am excited that the decorations will be different this year,” StuCo sponsor Jani Wilkens said. “We got rid of the tents.”

Instead of having tents in front of the DJ, there will be fabric hanging from the divider in the ceiling, bowing out to the poles. It will be less hot and will make a bigger dance floor for the students.

Another major difference this year was getting rid of the fine forms that the students had to fill out before purchasing their ticket.

Wilkens believes that without the forms, the attendance rate of the dance will be higher. She believes that about 25 percent of the students have fines and that the other 75 percent were being punished for it.

The students are very thankful for not having to fill out the forms this year.

“They were so dumb and way too much of a hassle,” junior Megan Frkovic said.

As usual, the dance attendees will enter the building and walk through the homecoming hallways made by each class.

The freshman hallway will be “Poison Ivy” theme, the sophomore hallway will be “The Joker”, the junior hallway will be “Mr. Freeze” and the senior hallway will be “Batman”.

High expectations have been set for this years’ Homecoming by the members of StuCo, including President Alyssa Bocci.

“I think it is going to be just amazing,” Bocci said. “Everyone is working really well together. We expect up to 1,000 people. It’s just going to be really good.”
