TD IGHT' THE IGHT As you drove into the parking lot, a sense of excitement stirred inside you. Chords of the band's music floated through the air and to your ears. As you walked towards the gate you couldn't help but notice the unusual buzz of ner- vous chatter. Homecoming night had finally arrived. Everywhere you looked there was some evidence that this wasn't just an- other game. Dozens of girls were adorned with golden yellow mums. Even a few guys could be found with carnations tucked in their lapels. When you reached the stands you could see that everyone was there. even some of the alumni were present. There were pregame festivities that have been considered by some to be better than the actual game. There was a float and a decorated truck filled with cheering boys and girls circling the track. The Trojan Marching Band filled half the field. Each individual band member manipulated their instruments to create the harmonious sound of mu- sic. The other halfof the field was allot- ted to the Air Force ROTC. Each cadet stood rigidly at attention as rehearsed. Still yet, there was the homecoming court. A line of I2 girls and their es- corts was formed as each contestants name was called out. They all awaited with nervous smiles, the outcome of that afternoon's vote. A deep voice be- gan the long awaited announcals. Sophomore attendant is Marva Lu- cas. Cheers burst forth from the stands. Junior attendant is Jill Cha- visf' Even more cheers. Senior class attendant is Trisha Merchant. Still more cheers. The noise level began to die down because no one wanted to miss the next announcement. This year's Homecoming Queen is Shannon Zamo- ra. Cries of joy errupt everywhere. Shannon stepped forward to receive her crown from the now former queen, Tra- cey Moore. The festivities ended with Shannon and her court of attendants being paraded around the track for all to see. The actual homecoming game was less than inspiring. Devoted fans still chanted words of encouragement, though. Our mighty Trojans lost to Watch the birdie Jil!

There was still the dance! After waiting in line forever, you were finally admitted to the supposed victory dance. This year, there was a nice change. Instead of the lower deck of the cafeteria, we had the entire lobby as a dance floor. Bodies swaying to the music stretched from the cafeteria doors to the main stairs. It was wall to wall people. Bright, colored lights flashed on and off. The music's vibra- tions were inescapable. Inside the cafe- teria sat sweat drenched people too ex- hausted to dance any longer. Not only did all that dancing cause fatigue, but it also worked up a lot of appetites. Fortu- nately, Mrs. Dees had some Dominols Pizza available for the masses. The dance went by quickly. It didn't even seem to last 30 minutes, much less the two hours it really did. Homecom- ing was over before you knew it. For some, there were more Homecomings to look forward to. For others, this was the last. For everyone, the night was filled with memories.
