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

Photo by R. lernigan Working the be used, put a restriction 01 once silent halls quickly fil- led with masses of hungry people on the way to their favorite period of the day -LUNCH. Lunchtime activities in- cluded many things other than eating lunch.This short 30 minute class provided a time to do homework, to take care of extra work for classes and to catch up on the latest gossip. During lunch 1 like to relax, talk to friends and eat. It’s the only time during To cut down on student activity in the halls during the lunch periods, new rules were instigated. These dic- tated which restrooms could on which halls could be traveled and forbade students to visit any of the high school offices without a pass. This could have been a good rule to cut down on the traffic, but many students and monitoring teachers were unclear on the exact whens, wheres and hows of the rules. If they don’t know what they're do- ing, how is anybody sup- posed to know what to do. They need to get their acts together. It is ridiculous that 1 cannot even leave the student center to talk to my counselor about extemely important business about my life,” commented senior Doug it out Thompson on the situation. Lunchtime also pro- vided a time for mischief. One habit that had become popular among students was leaving the school campus for a nice lunch ”on the town.” Although this was against school rules, many students got away with it. Lunch provided a needed rest in the middle of the day and a short period of salvation. No matter what ac- tivities one decided to do or take care of, lunch was the time to pull oneself together and prepare for the rest of the day. -Dee Geiger .Lirnr hjime, life Student life
