On Halloween Day afternoon students had fun dressing up and becoming whoever they desired to be for the annual Halloween Costume Contest hosted by The Magnet Tribune.
 “I think it’s fun because it allows me and others to be whoever we want, at least for that day. It’s a cool thing to have at magnet,” said A.J. Flores, junior.
The fifth annual Halloween contest took place in both morning and afternoon sessions on Halloween, October 31. This year a majority of the afternoon students were in attendance, making this year’s contest a one of diversity.
The categories for this were most original, scariest, and couples. Here are the winners. Most were surprised by their victories.
Scariest winner was Raoul Moreno; Couples winner was Hector Perales and Denisse Luna, and Most Original winner was Kimberly Peña, with Monica Manrique finishing second.
“It’s my first time competing. It’s my senior year too, so I decided to try really hard. I’m surprised,” said Raoul Moreno, senior, winner of Scariest.
The couple’s winners were also surprised by their win.
 “We were surprised we won because we decided to be a couple at the last minute and we didn’t really think it was well thought out. But we’re glad we won,” said Hector Perales senior, and Denisse Luna, senior, Couples winners.
The judge said picking winners was difficult.
“I believe the contest was pretty good with the exception that there weren’t many categories. They all took some time to organize and it was difficult to chose a winner with so many good costumes,” said Ana Gonzales, sophomore, judge.
