Marist freshmen and sophomores will be celebrating their homecoming dance Saturday, October 4 with the theme of “Maristpalooza.” This event will turn the Main and Hynes gym into a music festival with students able to enjoy dancing and activities at both locations.

There are also new additions to this year’s dance that were not previously implemented in the past.

“Inside the Hynes gym, we’re going to have a DJ, food, and cool photo opportunities. There will be a lot of cool backdrops that the art club is making. There is going to be a photo booth as well,” said Patrick Meyer, the director of the dance.

The price for a student is $35 and $70 for a couple.

Homecoming week follows October 6-10.

The week kicks off with pajama day on Monday, followed by tour stop Tuesday, where students can represent their favorite city, state, sports team, or vacation spot. Wednesday the theme is “Lei’d back,” with Hawaiian-themed apparel. Thursday the theme is USA with students wearing red, white and blue. Finally, the week concludes with students wearing colors based on grade level. Freshmen will wear white, sophomores gray, juniors red and seniors will wear black.

Junior-senior homecoming is Saturday, October 11.

Molly Julian, Section Editor

I’m in my senior year here at Marist and this is my third year taking journalism. Here at Marist I’m a part of the MHS Media Club, Student Ambassadors, and the Editor of the Opinion Section on the MHS news website. I work alongside school at Salon 95. I also spend my free time with friends or family and with my dog, Tootie. After high school I plan to attend college to major in Homeland Security and possible minor in journalism. I’m very excited for another year being a part of the journalism program at Marist.

I’m a junior and have been involved in journalism for a couple years now. At Marist I’m also involved in Student Ambassadors and Broadcasting Club. I also perform in theater productions at both Marist and Mother McAuley and love every second! Outside of school, I enjoy watching new movies, going up to my lake house, sleeping, and laughing with my friends! I’m not so sure about my life beyond Marist, but I hope to pursue journalism in college, and perhaps as a career one day.

I am a junior and I am involved at Marist as a Student Ambassador. I work at Newborn Apothecary on the weekends. I like to listen to all kinds of music but if I had to choose my favorite artist, it would be Taylor Swift. In the future, I hope to go to college and get a degree in teaching or go to law school and become a lawyer. I’m close to my mom and pictured here with her.
