It was hard to put the dance together because student council was very busy with four major activities within three weeks. When I helped think up the games I really didn't think that I'd have to do them. And you know What'?lHostess1SnoWballs are nas -Garrett Hall '98 I All Age of Reason 17

ABSOL TE ZERO FEVER . What was the hottest dance of the year with the coolest theme? You guessed it! Absolute Zero, the 1997 Homecoming Dance. Preceding the dance was a week of homecoming activities in which the nominees participated in games such as a penguin parade, snowball on a string, a winter clothes relay, and a great snowball challenge. I thought the homecoming events were a lot of fun. What was most special about homecoming was remember- ing how the experience was as a freshman, and now participating in it as a senior--seeing the class come full circle, commented Homecoming Princess Jennifer Lee. On the night ofthe dance, students filled the dance floor. The seniors knew that this night was special for them, while the younger classes watched anxiously, knowing that soon it would be their tum. From the gym floor, the crowd cheered on the nominees in the balcony. They were Erin Bechelli, Colleen Coussinat, Joanne Esteves, Ajah Herbert and Jennifer Lee, Ryan Cacanando, Patrick Dunne, Leonardo Fiallos, Garrett Hall and Zackary Rance. The student body members crowned Colleen Coussinat and Zack Rance Homecoming Queen and King. Sur- rounded by icicles with white scarves around their necks and white gloves on the their hands, the Royal Court made their appearance together on the dance floor. Long after the night ended, the dance remained a lasting impression in the minds of those who attended. It was put best by senior Candice O'Keefe, This was the best home- coming dance I have ever been to. Of course, we mustn't forget that we owe the success of the homecoming dance to the senior council. They put in long hours of planning and dedication to make all of the activities and the night of homecoming a spec- tacular event. Homecoming night was a suc- cess! All the lunch meetings, planning, and organizing really paid off on the night of our homecoming. In addition, the deejay did an outstanding job with the music, and the deco- rations suited our theme appropriately, recalls senior council member Elaine Mak. -Jennifer Williams '98 Right: Frances Graves and Jason Marshall dance to the beat.

I 6 l was surprised at thc amount of spirit and originality that all the students had. l was happy to see that even the teachers got involved in the festivities. It was very impressive that SBO didn't resort to the normal, boring costume parade when planning the events. The were very creative and interesting. -Laura Feeney '00 Halloween is a time when the weird people can let their true feelings shine. Candy is probably the best part of Halloween. Stuffing yourself until you feel sick and watching horror movies is also a fun and related pastime of Hallow's Eve. Have fun on this day of festivities y'all! -Caitlin Beitiks '99 18 Halloween .ax
