Homecoming 1984 was no exception. The town ignited the fervor weeks before the game day The store windows displayed pictures of Big Al. the school mascot, and supported the event. Com- munity volunteers painted many of these shop windows and donated public signs to greet the returning alumni and to cheer on the Gators The local floral shops pro- vided the necessary corsages and boutonnieres for a complete homecom- ing The school colors of blue and white were abundant throughout Dickinson. The week of homecoming began on Monday with mindful students sporting clothes of the appropriate color, which represented school spirit.

The girls fran- tically tried to hook last minute dates The school buzzed with excitement and anticipation. The annual dance was a success this year, as the Student Council changed the date to Thursday night from Friday night Couples in the past avoided the dance because they preferred to go eat dinner in a nice restaurant, which is still the Friday night custom.

The conversations contained topics of who asked whom and their plans for the evening, of which candidate will be the queen, and who is wearing the most attractive outfit.
