Winter Homecoming provides February break This year the Student Council sponsored a Winter Homecoming. It was the first annual homecoming for all winter sports. The idea was for the student body to be able to have a chance to recognize these sports just as they did fall sports. The dance itself was held Feb. 7 following the boys’ basketball game. The DJ was Derek the Mad Doctor. The dance was a casual dance. King was Rich Capes and Queen was April Cook. As any new event. Winter Homecoming took special planning, but the results seemed to be worth it. 1. Queen April Cook and King Rich Capes step forward to accept their awards. 2.

 Dances highlight ‘best year’ The dances at Byron this year reflected everyone’s answer to the question, “Are these the best years of our lives?” For some, the answer was a definite yes! These were the people who started dancing right at the beginning and didn’t stop till the last song was played. For the others, the dances were something you looked forward to all week and when they finally came around, led to some dis- appoint- m e n t . Were they success- ful? Judg- i n g by these pic- t u r e s here, yes, they were. Top left , Mike Jackson and Marge Lucas feel the beat as they dance to the records of Derek the Mad Doctor at the Spanish Club dance Oct. 7.
