Prospects for the Home¬ coming game did not look promising during the school day. It seemed as if it would rain forever, and the tradition of rain during the Homecom¬ ing game would be kept. But after the school day ended, the sun broke through. There was finally a Homecoming without rain. Despite the sloppy field, the Bulldogs defeated Lowell. Mr. Football, Mike Socci, rushed for 113 yards. The rain was not the only tradition that was broken. The parade started at 6 p.m., and CRIS COWAN, ESCORTED by se¬ nior Rob Petro, was crowned Home¬ coming Queen before the game. the crowning of the queen took place before the game, rather than at halftime. But when the queen was crowned, one tradi¬ tion was not broken. Senior Cris Cowan was crowned Homecoming Queen, following in the footsteps of all of her sisters. They had all been queen of one of the dances when they were in high school. The other queen candidates were Tammy Boggess, Jennifer Johnston, and Tricia Maloney. The princesses were Lynda Lu¬ cas, Jennifer Pavlo, Megann Lesnick. WHILE RIDING IN THE PARADE, Tammy Boggess and Doug Macke still find time to wave to their friends.

friends and Lovers’ Romantic theme lends magic to events of Homecoming Dance Falling leaves, brisk weath¬ er, and new romances offered a sentimental backdrop for the annual Homecoming Dance. The budding romances set the dual-theme of “Autumn Ro¬ mances” and “Friends and Lovers” in motion. The Boost¬ er Club developed the roman¬ tic theme by decorating the cafeteria with X’s and O’s, re¬ presenting hugs and kisses. Brightly colored autumn leaves also festooned the room. The atmosphere for this year’s dance seemed much more formal than that of pre¬ vious occasions. Formal attire, rather than casual, reflected the change in fashions. Dresses and suits were more sophisti¬ cated. Despite the changes in evening wear, couples were able to relax and enjoy them¬ selves to the sounds of Equi¬ nox. Couples spent the hours conversing with friends or dancing to favorite songs. The special magic of the evening helped them form long-lasting relationships which helped make the night unforgettable. One highlight of the evening was the crowning of Mr. Foot¬ ball. Diana Macis, president of the Booster Club, crowned Mike Socci, Mr. Football. After the dance, many couples dined out and enjoyed the company of friends for hours more. For the many who attended, the Homecoming Dance was a night to remember. QUARTERBACK MIKE SOCCI proudly wears the crown of Mr. Foot¬ ball. Looking on are Greg Smith, Rob Rosenbaum, and Jim Bauner, the other Mr. Football candidates.
