THE BULLDOG FACE on a Homecoming float exemplifies the feel¬ ings of most Crown Point fans toward the opposition, Munster. The aggressive attitude proved successful as the Bulldog team pre¬ vailed. BULLDOG FULLBACK DAN DE- GANI gains yardage on a first down run before a Munster Mustang tack¬ led him. The Dogs defeated Munster 27-0 for a triumphant evening. THE INCLEMENT WEATHER on the night of the parade caused many organizations to change their appar¬ el. The Royal Regiment opted to wear warm street clothes instead of their new uniforms.

Evening to Remember Homecoming draws record number of couples A record breaking 229 couples, dressed to the hilt, and ready to dance met in the high school cafeteria on Oct. 5 to experience Home¬ coming 1985. The evening proved to be a memorable event for most that attend¬ ed. Before the dance, the Booster Club decorated the walls with murals and trees with multi-colored leaves. As couples arrived at the dance, they found their names on the leaves and took them home as memen¬ tos. The couples danced to music of Abaccus, a local band. The group played up- to-date songs, like Let ' s Go Crazy by Prince, and per¬ formed slow ballads, like Heaven by Bryan Adams. The slow pieces allowed couples to share special mo¬ ments together. As the evening pro¬ gressed, boys threw jackets and ties aside and girls took off uncomfortable heels and danced in their stockings. Later in the evening, Tan¬ ya Parker, Booster Club president, called up Dawn Burish, 1985 Homecoming Queen, to receive a football signed by the entire football team. Mr. Football, Dan De- gani then received a plaque. Dawn and Dan danced the traditional dance together to the theme song Tender Years by John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band. The homecoming court included freshman princess Denise Jaeger, sophomore princess Jodi Stemler, junior princess Cris Cowan, and queen can¬ didates Julie DePasquale, Rachel Gabato, and Collin Wirtz. For many couples, after the dance provided addi¬ tional fun. Couples went out to eat at such places as El Mars, Snaks and The Gath¬ ering. Over dinner the cou¬ ples relaxed and enjoyed each other ' s company. Most couples either doubled or tripled to further enhance their evening. Tripling with my two best friends and my high school sweetheart made the evening one that I will re¬ member always, said soph¬ omore Kathy Fletcher. Weeks after Homecoming, students still reminisced wistfully over memories of that special night. THE MEMBERS OF ABACCUS, a lo¬ cal band, provides a mixture of mu¬ sic, ranging from Bruce Springsteen with Glory Days to Eddie Rabbit and Crystal Gayle with Just You and WHILE THE BAND IS ON BREAK, sophomore Laura Carl and her date, sophomore Ron Weber, talk about where they would like to go for din¬ ner after the dance. They mutally de¬ cide on Snak ' s Park Avenue for the seafood platter. SENIOR JIM WAYCO points out his name and that of his date, Nicci Toma, to one assistant so they will be able to have their pictures taken. Homecoming 13
