We may not have Patrick Swayze, but Cen- tral has plenty of students who become wild and crazy at dances. It may not be Dirty Dancing like the popular movie of the same name, but it is unique. Each person has his own style: from impersonations of Bad by Michael Jack- son, to dancing with friends on the bleachers, (and sometimes on their shoulders), to slowly swaying to a slow song with a special friend. There are dances for everybody’s taste, from the Thespian’s annual Generic Dance, complete with toilet paper decorations or NHS’s semi-formal win- ter dance, decorated with ribbons and brightly wrapped packages. No matter what kind of dance it is, all are good for having fun. STANDING ON THE BLEACHERS Bob Martin, Jeff Kronemeyer, Mike Mulgrew, Brian Boiinger, Matt Thompson, Craig Ramsey, and Mike Deputy dance to Oak Tree at the freshman class’ Hot Nights in Hollywood Dance. DRESSING IN DRAG is how Shannon Rembert, Scott Patton and Mike Brokaw showed up for Spirit Club’s annual Halloween Dance. 10 DANCES GETTING THEIR DATES SOME PUNCH at the Winter Toyland dance, Shane Brown, Dax Corns, and Tony Russo meet at the refreshment table. JULIE MILLION AND HER DATE dance to a fast dance at NHS’s Winter Toyland dance.

 The night: October 9 The place: Rice Field The time: 7:30 p.m. The conflict: Penn — vs — Central Homecoming is a big game. Since Central’s rivalry with Penn is the biggest in the NIC, the bleachers are packed with spectators anxiously awaiting the kick-off. The band starts the parade at 7:00. They are followed by convertibles carrying the cheerleaders and Homecoming court. Next are the decorated cars representing each of the classes. The “Madd Docsters” make their debut and the “B- Crew” return with the Blaze Mobile II. They charge onto the track to fire up the crowd. Then both teams take the field. The noise is deafening. Tension is high, especially for the senior players. It is their last chance to beat Penn and their last home game. The senior football players, trainers, cheerleaders, and band members are honored before the game begins. During halftime comes the crowning of the queen. The court files onto the field to wait for Mr. Million to announce the winner. He calls the name of Senior Kim Smith, and places the crown on her head. The only thing to dampen spirits that evening was the team’s eventual loss to Penn, 34-14. But the score doesn’t reflect how hard the game was played. The team, coaches, band members, cheerleaders and fans were psyched up more for this game than any other game all season. Most left saddened, but not defeated. RIDING AROUND THE TRACK during Homecoming, Heather Reda and Kim Boyd celebrate our first touchdown of the game. MEMBERS OF THE B-CREW: Jon Hardy, Bob WITH CLOSE FRIEND Scott King at her Stewart, Danny Reynolds, and Jeff Kronemeyer, side, Kim Smith was crowned queen during join in the enthusiasm of Homecoming. halftime ceromonies. 12 HOMECOMING
