Photo by Babb As each couple arrives at the dance he magic starts Etodies crowded the dance floor, leaving little room for even one more couple. Lights popped periodically around the room as Flash and yearbook photo- graphers froze brief moments for individuals, couples and groups. Couples queued up with $ 10 or $15 clutched to pay for portraits. Restrooms clogged with girls waiting for their chance to view the damage a few hours of dancing had done. Weeks of preparation came to an end as Some En- chanted Evening: A Homecoming to Remember” premiered at the Fairmont Hotel Regency Room Nov. 2. The $22 a couple dance was packed as over 1,100 people descended on the hotel, fil- ling hotel lots and testing the valet parking “This homecoming met up to all my expectations,” said sophomore Trese Coe. But there were students with different opinions. The overall atmosphere left some- thing to be desired, said senior Todd Vallier. Still, the last song was played and the evening began to come to a end, Homecoming was no longer a reality but a fond memory of what was. -Debra Villarreal Homecoming dance 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. The glitter and glory of the pageant soon faded as did the smell and color of fresh mums.
