Junior Danny McCray asks junior Jessica Ly to homecoming.
Juniors Scott Becker and Danny McCray held a Bachelor-style asking for juniors Melina Seng and Jessica Ly on Sept. 27 in the Nobel commons. Junior Sid Muralidhar acted as the announcer.
“I first thought of the idea a few weeks ago and then Danny, Sid and I started planning about how we could make this happen. We got a lot of our friends to help out and we went to someone’s house and planned out how everything would work,” Becker said.
“I thought it was really creative and I liked how they also included our friends in it. I think it was a lot of fun for all of us,” Ly said.

Her ribbon dance was inspired by the revered mythical creature and this year’s Chinese zodiac sign, the dragon. “My ribbon symbolized a dragon flying in the air. My outfit was [also] inspired by the dragon, the color was the same color as my ribbon, but on the shoulder there were some details like dragon scales,” Huang said. “I liked how there were a lot of people in the audience and it was just really fun to perform.”](https://www.tjtoday.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_0964-1-600x387.jpg)
