On this \u201cHawaiian Monday,\u201d students wore touristy floral shirts, leis, and flip flops. However, not as many students as expected dressed up due to the niche theme. Tuesday\u2019s dress-up day theme, \u201cTired Twin Tuesday,\u201d will likely draw more participation, because sweatpants and comfy clothes are the unofficial IMSA student uniform. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During midday, Student Council president <\/span><b>Madison Dong (\u201817) <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and CAB Director <\/span><b>Mateusz Cikowski (\u201817)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> officially commenced Homecoming week with a brief opening ceremony. Each said a few words about Homecoming week, then introduced the week&#8217;s first midday event:\u00a0 limbo. The competition was heated, but the senior class took home the victory, thanks to the expert-level flexibility of <\/span><b>Amy Xie, Neha Verma,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><b>Jacob Horstman. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The sophomores were eliminated first and the juniors placed second. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CAB member <\/span><b>Diego Alanis (\u201818)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> announced the class ranks before kicking off the evening event, Meet Your Match. The seniors currently hold the first place title, followed by the juniors in second and the sophomores in third. However, these scores are based only on the limbo competition, so there\u2019s still plenty of time for the other classes to catch up. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meet Your Match was an event in which dozens of audience members competed to \u201cmatch\u201d with one of six contestants (<\/span><b>Sruti Mohan (\u201817), Wasan Kumar (\u201817), Diann George (\u201818), Abhiudaya Bhalla (\u201818), October Gradows (\u201819), and Akash Ghandi (\u201819)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">). Based on their answers to the contestants\u2019 questions, the competitors either advanced or were eliminated until only one remained. The winner of each round also received a free ticket to Homecoming. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Monday also marked the first day of the Eiffel Tower scavenger hunt. One hundred images of Paris\u2019s famous landmark were scattered around the main building for students to find. Each picture corresponds to a six-letter code and is worth 5 points. As of right now, the senior class has submitted 54 unique codes, the junior class has submitted a grand total of 2, and the sophomore class has submitted 28.
