Dances Dare to be Different by Brian English Although the crazy traditional dances and styles were back, Homecoming and Prom had a few twists from the past. Homecoming was held October 25 in the cafeteria. This was a change from last year’s dance, which was held in the Hungarian Church Hall next to the school . Homecoming Queen nominations and voting took place at the dance. This differed from past years, when all this was done beforehand. In the end, Regina’s Nikki DiCaro was crowned Homecoming Queen. Prom also had several differences from the past. It was held downtown at Swingo’s at the Statler. This (far right) SENIOR ED STUC-ZYNSKI has his hands full at Homecoming. PROM QUEEN CANDIDATES and their dates line up as Senior Class Vice President Brian English announces the winner. After the winner was announced, the floor was cleared so these couples could share a Prom Court slow dance. was a change from recent years, when Prom was held at various sites in the eastern suburbs. Another change included a sit-down dinner as opposed to the buffet style which had been used in previous years. There was also a change in photographers and disc jockeys. Ripcho Studio and Muzic and Co. handled not only Prom but also Homecoming. There was a new method of voting for Prom Queen, too. Candidates were nominated the week beforehand, and the actual voting took place at Prom. After a run-oif to break a tie, Beaumont’s Kathy Di Franco was voted Prom Queen. Despite the many changes STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT Dan Newton shares a slow dance with Gina Stoessner. In the background is senior Ed Stuczyn-ski with his date. and new methods, the Student Council still tried to make the Prom bid reasonable. The bid, which included dinner, pictures and music, was originally forecast at $60. How-ever, by the time the Mav 16 dance rolled around, the Student Council had cut that figure in half. GETTING A LIFT during Homecoming are juniors Ron Grosel and Brian Simpson. The dance was held the day after Benedictine's victory over St. Ignatius. 12 Homecoming — Prom
