Locke Students prepared for Homecoming and I that glitter s the seconds ticked closer and closer to that magic moment when Prince Charming would whisk Cin- derella off to “Some En- chanted Evening,” Cin- derella nervously looked back on the months of prep- arations that had passed in order to get ready for this special occasion. Thought and preparation began girls began to look for dresses as early as the begin- ing of October sometimes be- fore they had dates. Besides dresses, shoes, stockings and makeup also had to be de- cided on and bought. “I bought my whole outfit for Homecoming, dress, shoes, stockings, but was not really satisfied with it. My mother returned everything and bought a completely new outfit. When 1 put the outfit on that night, it was my (irst time to see it,” said junior Antonia Green. Cinderella looked in the mirror and adjusted her hair “Do I look alright? Maybe I should have worn a different color of lipstick? I hope he likes my dress...” Girls began to get ready for the dance early on the day of the dance. 1 started getting ready at 3 p.m. by soaking in a hot bath. 1 then had to de- cide what makeup to wear, how to fix my hair and still allow enough time for that unexpected run in my stock- ing” observed junior Traci James. “I started getting ready at 3 p.m. by soaking in a hot bath. I then had to decide what makeup to wear, how to fix my hair and still allow time for that unexpected run in my stockings” -Traci James Preparations for the guys were not any less than those of the girls. First, a large sum of money had to be acquired, then mums and corsages had to be ordered, tickets bought, a table rented and dinner reservations made. “Getting ready for Homecoming took a lot of time and money. It was my first and last one, so I wanted to make it special,” said senior Chris Spikes. As Prince Charming ar- rived at Cinderellas's house, he hoped all was taken care of. He whisked her off to an evening full of fine food, dancing and romance a per- fect story book ending. Homecoming-looked upon as one of the important events of the year-required ample preparation to insure it would be a “night to re- member.” The work and ef- fort put into it hopefully, in the end, provided an evening that lived up to everyone’s expectations. •Dee Geiger Homecoming preparations Student life
