Magical Moments After much anticipation, the Homecoming dance was held on Saturday, October 18. 1986 in the cafeteria. In accor- dance with the theme of coun- tries, the cafeteria was trans- formed into an Oriental fanta- sy garden. The dance, sponsored by SGA, lasted from 7 to 11 PM and offered popular music as well as re- freshments. In addition, those who were willing to brave the cold night sat outside in the court yard under the stars. Fi- nally, it was time for the Homecoming Queen Lisa Maccarelli and her court to make their entrance with their escorts. The already romantic atmosphere was heightened when the court had their tradi- tional dance. As the even wound down, couples began to leave carying many special memories home with them. The magic of the night shines in the faces of Homecoming Queen Lisa Maccarelli and her escort Neil Manniccia. Braving the cold air, these four dancers are taking a break from the festivities. 14 Homecoming Dance
