Tiki torches aren't exactly cheap, but a few on either side of the entrance to the party can set the mood. Twist green crepe paper streamers until they crumple and string those about as vines... some can hang straight down form the ceiling or ceiling fans. You can even staple some construction paper leaves on them if you want. Rafia is a cheap craft item you can also use to hang off of things, choose brown and green colors to make the ceiling seem like a jungle canopy.
In high school we had a jungle themed dance and they made a gigantic tree out of butcher paper, forming it around a large pole of some sort. then they hung (real) palm branches around it.
This may be hard to explain but I will do my best. I just saw at my friend's house a few days ago .........very large palm trees, about 6 feet tall. They were used on a float for their town celebration. This is what they did. The took a carpet roll (very tough cardboard) and anchored it to a base that was perhaps 12" by 12". Then they took the brown lunch bags and scrunched them down over the tube to make the trunk.
Hibiscus flowers everywhere, fake of course!

I would see if any parents can lend you palm trees that they may have potted in their gardens. Clusters of them throughout the hall will give a tropical jungle feel.
