On Halloween, St. John Bosco High School held a competition during lunch for all grade levels to find out who had the best costume.

Students were able to compete for prizes by dressing up in scary or hilarious costumes. The contest’s winner would receive a $10 gift card to In-N-Out. 

This contest gathered a large number of underclassmen and upperclassmen students. Not only were students dressed up in costumes for the event, but many female faculty members were dressed as hippies.

“It was cool to see the female teachers and faculty members dress up as hippies on Halloween,” said senior Joshua Lopez.

The contest winner was senior Matthew Olague, who dressed up as a bloody butcher. Matthew got the inspiration for his outfit from his favorite horror movie and thought it would be a cool idea to build a real life version of it.

“I was surprised when they called my name because I didn’t think people would like my costume that much because it was scary,” Matthew said.

Jacob Orellana, who is a part of the sophomore class, had one of the funniest costumes in this competition. Jacob got his idea from the previous Halloween when he saw people walking down his street dressed up with the same costume.

“I thought it would be funny to dress up as someone getting taken by an alien,” said Jacob.
