New Steps at Old Dance by Dave Assert Did you ever wonder where famous dances such as the Twist or the Jitterbug got their starts? Well if future generations wonder about the origins of the Asseff and the Holecek, let it be known that it was at BHS Homecoming '85. Homecoming was held on October 12 in the basement of the Hungarian Church next door to BHS. This was the first year that the dance wasn't held in the cafeteria. The evening started out slowly. Junior Andy Ardo observed, There were only a few couples at first, tnings really aidn't start to pick up until 9:30. Couples started to arrive in large numbers after just having dined at the various restaurants around the city. Inside, it was unusually hot. The punch bowl was visited time and again. Many couples went outside during the course of the evening to take a breather and cool down. Dances such as the Asseff and the Holecek caught on quickly with the crowd and were performed with vigor by all. In addition to these, they also joined in to do the Bird, led by Senior Tom Lang. At 11:00, Edie Maruna, from Regina High School, was crowned Homecoming Queen. Then she and her date, Mike Kristosik, had the traditional dance. After 11:00, the crowd started to thin out, and by midnight, only a few remained. JIM WOODFORD AND DATE Alisia West contemplate a unique pose for their Homecoming pictures. SHOUT! 1985 Homecoming was certainly something to shout about as students who attended would agree. 10 activities
