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

The real event came on the day after the game, how- ever. At 11:15 pm., the nominees were announced. With all watching and wait- ing for the announcements, senate sponsor Zelda Russell began to read the nominees and a short biography about them. As the nominees held their collective breath and clutched at escorts’ arms, the winner’s names were an- nounced and winners were given a bouquet of roses by the senate officers. The 1985 court consisted of Cynthia Leaks . Teresa Morris, Angie Bohne, Lornae Jefferson and queen Angela Barnes.
