The game, against Buena Park, was won handily by Anahi and was the decisive factor of a three-way tie for second place in the Freeway League. The dance, which was held at the Inn at the Park, went very successfully and for the first time in several years actually made money for the sen- ior class. Rock Dodger entertained Colonists with a wide variety of fast and slow music. Senior members of the court were Vince Dow- ney, Joe Russell, Steve Evans, Karen Tanaka, Diana Gunther, and Jessica Rodriguez. Underclass court members were Chuck Ward, Carlos Ayala, Ambrocio Gutierrez, Teresa Gullage, Elena Thompson, and Teresa Russo for homecoming. HOMECOMING-21
