The Dance

Sam Dambra & Alicia Garcia

September 18, 2021 the weather set the mood for a perfect evening. Students were excited to be back on the dance floor, as the Homecoming Dance was cancelled last year due to the pandemic. Senior Haley Perez stated, “I am most excited to enjoy my last homecoming with my friends.” The Homecoming Dance focused on each classes themes with a playbill as you walked in and had photo ops for your stories. From start to finish everyone was dancing with their friends; happy to be back to normal. The dance was a success, and a perfect way to close an amazing Homecoming week.

Old and new Student Council Sponsors Mrs. Fernstrom and Mr. Rosner

During those 25 years have you gained a meaning of Homecoming?

I think Homecoming is special and in the years that we did it we were starting from scratch, we have never done anything like this before. We went to other schools to see how they did it, and we tried to build a tradition here. Which I think we did; we kind of established our type of Homecoming over those years and every year you try to make it better than the year before. Homecoming is special for every high school; you try to make it the best experience possible for both staff and students.

Can you tell me how you feel looking at Homecoming and what it has become now?

I think we set a tone for Streamwood High School and to see it get better and better every year; it’s good to see it. Mrs. Fernstrom, has been doing it for a long time. She was with me in my last year of being a Student Council Advisor. I think she has done a fabulous job with keeping the traditions going and coming up with new ideas. I don’t know what we would do without her planning this, because it is a very difficult job, but I think the students enjoy it and look forward to it. Out of all the years you were Student Council Advisor, what was your favorite year? There was a lot we used to do: a 12-hour lock in. In the early days the students would stay overnight. They would be locked in from 6 in the afternoon to 6 in the morning to decorate the whole school. If there was one thing that stands out is that one year we were trying out new paint. It was supposed to be great, and we painted all over the school. Then we realized afterwards that the paint was not the water soluble paint. It wouldn’t come off ! The assistant principal at the time called me and my co-sponsor in and said “what did you do?” We had to get the entire student council and everyday for a month we had to scrap the windows and doors to get the paint off. Mr. Rosner shared with me that during the first few years Student Council had to convince the school to do Powder Puff. The school did not want to approve Powder Puff, because they didn’t want to see girls hurt each other. Now, it is our most attended event.

Mr. Rosner has been a part of Streamwood High School Community for a total of 42 years. We are certainly grateful for all the work he has done with coaching Golf, Varsity Girls Basketball, as well as starting the amazing tradition we celebrate every single year that is Homecoming.

That’s a

Wrap …Until Hoco 2022!
