People and music make dance a success all Homecoming was a tremendous success because of the large tur- nout, the new Dj and the par- ticipation of the people who came, said Becky Kasenberg, Spirit Cabinet president. Over three hundred semi-formally dressed students came to the gymnasium that had been decorated with balloons, streamers, table cloths, lights and a mirrored ball on Saturday, Oct. 29. They paid 353 per single and 36 per couple to dance to music and lights for three hours, from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. The Dj, Eddie Griswold, had never before played for an East dance, but his work was ap- preciated. I really liked the music because there was a variety of everything that is good to dance to, said julie Hill, Spirit Cabinet representative. Highlighting the dance was the traditional crowning of the King, followed by the King- Queen spotlight dance. The coronation ceremony involved the procession of all candidates and then the crowning of Chip Neitfield as King. The ceremony was completed with a traditional flair, recalling memories of past coronations that enabl- ed that ceremony to continue the tradition of all coronations performed in the gym.
