Garfield’s Class of 2010 is infamous for a countless number of things: they have some of the brightest minds in the school, some of the most attractive faces, and now they are the first grade in many years to possibly host an all-class, coed sleepover in the gym. ASB officers Michael Cunetta and Leo Friedman have been working diligently in order to put on the sleepover, which has been in the works for a couple of months.

“It’s just an idea that Leo and I had; there are no concrete plans to have it, but it’s in the air,” said Cunetta. Although Mr. Howard okayed the sleepover, many logistics must still be worked out, such as the date, a permit to use the building overnight, and chaperones. “Chaperones will be easy to get because we only need five for every 100 students, but we’ll probably want more than that,” Cunetta said. However, it has been difficult to set a date because of conflicting sporting events on Fridays.

Some Oh Ten wannabes may ask, “How come my class never had a sleepover?” ASG President Ben Kusak speculates that sophomores are still viewed as innocent as fifteen and sixteen year olds. So the proposal for a coed overnight should not worry any parents or staff members because nothing beyond supervised activities and games will occur.

Rumors about an all-class slumber party are making the sophomores eager and excited. When sophomore Galen Beery heard about the possible event, he said he’s “mostly looking forward to showing off his new jammies.” Many of his classmates share his anticipation, and ASB is looking forward to the event for another reason: the event will also serve as a fundraiser for the class. “We decided on this fundraising idea because we thought it would be the most fun. We would charge students a few dollars at the door, and the rent would be free if we used the gym,” said ASB Vice President Leo Friedman.

Sleeping bags and pillows will be necessary for sleeping on the hard, sticky floor of the gym, but students shouldn’t get any ideas about late-night funny business: separate sleeping arrangements for boys and girls will most likely be enforced. Friedman hopes that his classmates can maintain a sufficient maturity level so that the overnight runs smoothly. “ASB, and specifically ’010 officers, are responsible for anything bad that happens, so in order for the sleepover to happen we need to make sure everything is going to go to plan.”

Students will soon find out the exact date of the event, but for now, they will have to wait patiently for the best all-nighter of their lives.
