razy spirit Homecoming theme focuses on lighthearted fun The combination of the crisp, clear autumn evening and the spirited decorations provided a lighthearted atmo¬ sphere for the 248 couples who attended the annual home¬ coming dance. Shortly after the couples arrived, the girls took off their heels, and the guys loosened their ties. The dance floor was constantly filled with students dancing to the music of the disc jockey, TNT. Long before the dance be¬ gan, the Booster Club spent a great deal of time and effort decorating the cafeteria. The couples’ names were written on colorful paper footballs and hung on the walls. Red and GROUP DANCING Enjoying themselves during the song “Wipe Out” by the Beach Boys, a group of seniors dance together. Many students like to dance in groups rather than in couples. white balloons and streamers filled the room, and Bulldog pennants were on every table. These decorations carried out the theme of the dance, “Crazy for Football.” This theme made the dance less ro¬ mantic and more fun. When they weren’t dancing, the couples relaxed with a glass of punch or took pictures of their friends. Students spent much of their time pos¬ ing for snapshots. Junior Eric Quale said, “The homecoming dance wouldn’t be the same without girls running around taking pictures.” At nine o’clock Mrs. Nancy Halfman announced the Mr. Football candidates. The can¬ didates were Brad Lambert. Patrick Lane, Edwin Mysog- land, James Pause. Philip Wayco, and John Young. Se¬ nior student council vice- president Ricky Haber and previously crowned home¬ coming queen Shelly Garber crowned John Young Mr. Football. Shelly and John then led the traditional dance to the theme song, “Crazy for You” by Madonna. Weeks after homecoming, students still exchanged pic¬ tures and stories of unforget¬ table memories of the dance. PRINCIPAL GREETING On their way into the dance, seniors Brad Lambert. Jodi Stemler. Edwin Mysogland. and Kelly Robinson stop to talk with Mr. Steven Bazin, princi¬ pal. Mr. Bazin served as a chaperone for the annual dance. Homecoming 11
