HEAVED CAD WAIT This excitement was only added to in a stunning 28-0 defeat of Burlington in the Homecoming game. The cold temperatures did not affect enthusiasm and during the field presentation, over 800 balloons were let loose from the field, creating a fantastic effect. The final, most enthusiastically anticipated event, the Homecoming dance, got mixed reviews. After pre- dance parties and or dinner, couples gathered in the gym to dance to the sounds of The Butlers . Although the band to many was a disappointment, the decorations were good. The theme was carried out with sparkling stars and blue and silver metallic streamers. To end an enjoyable evening, many couples went to more parties or ate a late dinner to stretch out the night a bit more before calling it a night or morning as the case may be. And those deciding whether or not to be in by curfew felt like crying, Aw Mom, heaven can wait! The traditional bonfire returned this year, providing something for everyone. Games and music for the rowdier Imps, and for the romantics, a roaring bonfire. Bill Schebler, Todd Chittendon. Diane Iglehart, Tom Baustian. and Randy McGee gather to chat. Photo by D. Bettis.

The escapades of Suzanne Sophomore and her search for a perfect senior date on the morning announcements sparked students thoughts about Homecoming. The theme Heaven Can Wait was an appropriate one, as dreams and ideas were fused into reality under the direction of several varied committees to make this one of the more successful homecomings. The roaring flame of a bonfire attracted about 200 students on the Thursday before the game. Crazy games helped to warm those who strayed too far from the fire, and the anticipation of game and dance fueled much speculation as to the outcome of the game and queen election. On Friday, everyone soon knew the Queen was Becky Meier, and the ever quickening whirlwind of activity continued with the best aud in the Class of '80's memory. The well- written and entertaining take-off on the movie Heaven Can Wait was followed by a rowdy pep aud. Cheerleaders led one cheer after another, as an electric current of excitement radiated through the gym. Courtesy of Sally Hotop, Senior Photographer Student Life Homecoming 9

 Hiking bools arc a current fad at Central, and Terry Fenn follows the trend by trying on a pair at Northpark. Teenage purchases such as these bring out the need for part time jobs. Photo by D.
