On Monday, October 4, the gym was crowded with quiet students anticipating the introduction of Edina High Schools 1982-1983 Homecoming Court. Kris Forslund UZi war- bled her way through the Na- tional Anthem, followed by Marie Moynihan t12i with our Alma Mater. The Master and Mistress of Ceremonies, juniors Pat Sullivan and Jane Peterson began an- nouncing the court to the rolling thunder of the Coro- nation Band's drums. Shouts of approval and applause rained down as Rocco Gamello was crowned King. After the tra- ditional, nail-biting search, Rocco threw his arms around Julie Dobies! Our new queen later remarked that she had felt, iiscared, surprised and shocked, al- though extremely happy. However, she withheld her emotion until after the coro- nation, when she let her tears fall in the hall. The Homecoming Dance was held on Saturday, Octo- ber 9, at Southdale Center. HLove is in the Air was the appropriate theme as cou- ples wildly danced to the band, Sussman Lawrence, or clung tightly together in cars in the parking lot Senior Jodi Gleeman felt that the evening was a blast, what with tan excellent meal, a great band and a neat guy! On the whole, the Homecoming at Edina was a smashing success! LOVE IS IN EDINA dance at homecoming. Court members Doug Montgomery and Jane Hau- gen adhere to each other to stay warm. After reaching the end of the long isle, the crown bearers bow obediently to the audience. Lovers find their chance to embrace during a slow HOMECOMINGKZORONATION 17

Liz Belkin. and Mike Devine flaunt their hopeful destinies. ?LOLLEGE? ollege: a word that meant many things to different people. To most of us in Edina it was the place one went after graduation. The question often asked was not, Are you going to col- lege? , but rather, tiWhere are you go- ing to college? Why has this standard been set in Edina? Because we were one of the top high schools in the nation, it was expected that Edina students move on to a higher level of education after graduating. However, just graduating from Edina did not promise anyone instant accep- tance into the college of his choice. The process began with long hours of study- ing. The time and effort put into getting a B, or even an A on one's report card did not go unnoticed on college applica- tions. The most grueling of all exper- iences one went through before accep- tance anywhere was to take the S.A.T. test. The S.A.T., made up by scholars across the world, was designed to make even the brightest student feel like an idiot. This degrading experience, howev- er, played a major part in ones accep- tance to any college. After one has made the important de- cision to go to college, one has a multi- tude of campuses around the nation to choose from. To narrow down one's choices one had to make more deci- sions: a big or small school, instate or out-of-state, an all-girls or all-guys school as opposed to a co-ed college . . . the list goes on. An important part in helping a student make his decision was visiting different college campuses. Vis- iting different colleges could be purely informational or just fun, most often it was a little of both. The best kind of tours were given by people one knew, an older brother, sister, or friend. If one did not know anyone on campus there were usually guided tours daily. Many important factors could be observed from a college tour such as the beauty of the campus and the people living there, and also important, the social ac- tivities which students engage in. After one had evaluated all the as- pects of college and was certain it was the school of his choice; there was one final step, application and acceptance. Once he had been accepted, the student could relax, slough off his senior year, and prepare for his life away from home. MOnbr COLLEGES 19
