Spirited Scarlets swing, sweltei Excitement filled the air. Feelings of anticipation were felt by almost everyone on that late Indian summer day, Sept. 16. Mighty Scarlets tasted the sweetness of victory over the Lincoln High Railsplitters in the long-awaited Homecoming game. Now was the time to celebrate success with high spirits in the traditional way — a Homecoming dance. Girls put on their best dresses, sweetest perfumes and their brightest smiles, waiting for their gentlemen callers, who were usually dressed in their best, to arrive. The common ritual of pinning on the corsages-with slight nervousness-a few pictures of the handsome couple, and a Have a good evening! from the proud, doting parents, took just a few minutes. Then they were off for an evening Junior Kim Ward and date Paul Nye roll up sleeves and take off shoes to get into some heavy dancing of Stuffing their faces, socializing and boogying the night away. | Inside the dancehall-cafe | couples were drenched with perspiration. Long lines of couples filled the cafe lobby waiting for their turn in front of the camera. But if one had to sweat, why not dance even more and feel it was really worked for? Last Shades of Dawn provided the blazing rock- n-roll that evening. After the dnace it became time to do your own thing. Some students liked to create their own little . parties; some joined others in organized group parties; some filled those hollow legs that they danced on all night; and some felt energetic enough to go dancing elsewhere. No matter how the night was ended, students were rewarded with some good memories, the i relief of its all being over and the building excitement about the next upcoming dance 4:
