Bengal Break radition Homecoming '78 saw two traditions broken by the Bengals. Bonanza had its first win for its Homecoming game and the dance was not held off campus, but in the gymnasium instead. Despite the rain and the muddy fields, the varsity football team came through with a fantastic victory of 15-0 over Eldo- rado. The fields were so muddy that Quarterback, Chad Lucas, and Running-back, Todd Tolefree, had to change jerseys because their numbers couldn't be seen. The game was a com- plete sell-out. Doug Smith sprinted 10 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter. The Sun Devils almost scored but Russ Malloy inter- cepted the ball and returned 20 yards. ln the third quarter, Brad Foster ran 20 yards for another Bengal touchdown. Allen Nicholson kicked both PAT's and the fieldgoal. Commissioner of Entertainment, Lisa Krause, tried desper- ately to find a room for the dance, but all of the hotels were full since the Shriners were in town and nearly had a monopoly on all the ballrooms. Student Government finally decided one week before the dance to use the gym. Hard work and dedication made the dance a success. The 24 homecoming game and dance decorating began at 6:00 a.m. Saturday morning and didn't end until after 4:00 that afternoon. The results: twelve workers turned the dance floor into a masterpiece! The gym looked completely different when the decorating was finished. The ceiling was given a more intimate feeling by lowering it with thousands of brown-and-gold streamers. The bleachers were covered by more streamers and black butcher paper with foil. The tables had beautiful centerpieces of float- ing candles with yellow daisies off to the side. There was a mir- ror-ball to give sparkling light to the dance floor. A search light was located in the parking lot to indicate where the dance was being held. Outside there was valet parking, so that the people going to the dance could drop off their cars without having to park them. A returning alumnus, Dale fCrazyJ Christensen, made his presence notable by wearing a striped Toga with clam-diggers, a black bow tie, and an olive branch. Homecoming Queen, Jayna Magliaro and her escort, Russell Malloy, reigned over the dance. l l V
