The homecoming dance is a great chance for those with some fancy footwork in them to let it out and boogie down. David Murphy and Scott Frolic show off their dancing skills. During the homecoming parade Carol Rohdy has the chance to flash her gorgeous smile at the entire student body. The parade also in- cludes representatives from most of the clubs. A Special Night T uxedos, fancy gowns, and corsages trimmed with red and white ribbons decorated the night. October 22nd — Homecoming — was a night never to be forgotten. As cloudy skies set in, a parachutist fell from above. Rain was forecasted for the evening. The Tornado football team exploded onto the field with one thought on their mind, winning. “Conquer the Cobras”, was declared the theme for the homecoming game. And conquer they did. At the end of the fourth quarter, the scoreboard pro- claimed, Clearwater 61 — Hudson 0.” Halftime — the highlight of the evening. While the band played the song “Tomor- row”, each court member was introduced. After a somber and decorous salutation by ROTC members the court took their place in line. The last and perhaps most important court member was driven around the track. Carol Rhody, homecoming queen, was then met by her escort, Mike Whitehurst. The culminating event of the evening was the dance. Sponsored by SGA, the dance was held in the gymnasium after the game. A live disc jockey, dim lights, and loud music were all part of the dance and com- bined made it a success. Despite the deluge of rain, the dance’s large turnout proved that the weather had not dampened the spectacular homecoming spirit. ▼ By Carolyn Pedulla 22 Homecoming Night

Carol Rohdy is as happy as any girl can be as the J.R.O.T.C.’s ceremony centers around her, the homecoming queen, and her escort, Mike Whitehurst. Despite the hot sun beating down on the stadi- um, rowdy students were as spirit-filled as ever in preparation for the big game. Members of the homecoming court stand proud at halftime of the big game as they are presented to the students in quite a formal ceremony. HOMECOMING Homecoming Night 23
