' if rrr...JYom ecom ing exci ement brings shivers The clock was just about to strike 7 on a cold Friday evening, as hundreds of people mer ged into the Ben Davis parking lot. Some came with blan- kets, many with mums, but all headed toward the candle-lit path which led to the second biggest social event of the year---Homecoming, 1980. The traditional scene was set. The sky was clear and the air chilly. It could have been the Haverageu Homecoming, but it was ours. Three overtimes werenft Av- eragef, A total of 97 points, freezing weather, and an incredible near comeback weren't average either. Ours was a one of a kind Homecoming.

Unlike many Homecomings l had been to over the years, the game and the 38 degree temperature made it a one of a kind, said Jeanette White, BD ,6O. During the first half of the game it seemed like the people were more interested in seeing their friends who had graduated the year before, said Melanie Allen, senior. Blanket squabbles erupt While three over-times highlighted the game itself, endless blankets dotted the stands. 'LOur blanket was stretched over as many people as possibly could fit without ripping it, said Marta Zimmermann, junior. As the blanket stretching began, so did the fights. We werenlt even going to take a blanket, but we decided to anyway and ended up fighting over who would get the mostf' recalled Darrick Smith, senior. After the squabbles over the blankets settled down, the crowd focused in on the annual crowning of the queen. The rowdies screamed and yelled as Linda Berry, senior, was crowned the 1980 Homecoming queen. Some left by halftime As the game began and the temperature dropped, many couples decided to leave at the halftime and catch the game on the radio at home. Senior Lisa Irragang explained that it w too cold to stay, so they listened to WBII for the last half and stayed warm by drinkii hot chocolate. i While many left by half-time, soil die-hard fans stayed and were happy th did. I thought the game was one of the mc exciting of the year, regardless of the coli People who missed the last half missed o of the best parts of Homecoming, sj Monty Mullins, senior WBDG broadcast Spirit wasn't frozen Even with the one point loss to the Pei Meridian Falcons, 49-48, many studer thought the spirit wasn't frozen with the degree temperature that Friday night. Tl fact was proven at the second bonfire, he the following Monday because of rain. The bonfire after the Homecoming was great. Even though we had a loss everyone pulled to- gether and had the spirit to make the event a 'memorable' occasion, said Pam Cave, senior.
