How were you asked?


How were you asked?

ST. GEORGE - Some people deliver roses, others say it to their face, and some vandalize each other’s property, but no matter which way you ask, there’s always a cute story behind asking someone to homecoming.

A ‘mystery man’ delivered flour to Dixie junior, Skylie McArthur’s seventh period class, but not so she could use it to bake with. “What the heck?” she asked wondering if it was an invitation to the dance. “Do i really have to sift through all this?” Needless to say, there was no answer to that question in the bag of flour.

In her last class she received four roses with a note that said. “OOPS!! I delivered the wrong ‘flower’, will you go to homecoming with me?” Skylie “sweet” answer ended with a yes.


More than 48 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube every minute along with more than 3 billion views per day, but it’s not every day someone gets asked to Dixie’s homecoming through a YouTube video.

The video was created and uploaded to YouTube by junior Daniel Olsen. He used the music from the song “Angel in the Night” by Basshunter. After using pictures with words from the song, Olsen appeared and asked senior, Heidi Harris to the dance with him. As a girl with very little time,yet plugged into the electronic age, Harris answered with a “yes!” through Facebook the next day.

Whether through chalk bodies, candy, or graffitti, the way someone gets asked or answered to the big dance is almost as fun as the dance itself.
