xtxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:- While most people were jumping into piles of leaves on a typical autumn Saturday afternoon, Bruins we re falling into fun. The annual Fall Festival was held on Saturday, October 10. It was a typical fall day: sunny and nippy with a slight breeze that lifted everyone's spirits. Booths of all kinds were set up to sell puppets, pumpkins, wood crafts, dolls, ceramics, jewlery, coins, balloons, and beer cans for collectors. Food stands sold drinks, cotton candy, hot dogs, and the ever popular gummi bears. Games and other at- tractions included the moon bounce, ping-pong toss, coke toss, football toss, and the wheel-of- fortune. “ I liked the Fall Festival because it seemed like everyone was having a good time and there was lots to do and see,” com- mented senior Kim Garcia. We were entertained by “Dixie Suite, ■‘Destony,” and the Lake Braddock Swing Singers. Sue Michaelis felt. “The Swing Singers were the best I’ve ever seen them. Many graduates came back to view their old school and remarked how nice it was to be back. When it was all over, students fell into their cars and headed for home to prepare for the Homecoming Dance later that night. Mark Flint, an l.B. graduate, sings with Destony'' as part of the Fal' Festival entertainment. A new attraction, the Moon Bounce sponsored by the class of '86. is enjoyed by many. Student Life 15

Andy Busa's feet could keep him moving all night at the Back-To- School Dance- Oavid Phillips and his date find»a quiet place to talk at the Back-To- School Dance. On Friday night, about once a month, swarms of people would fill the cafeteria. While removing their coats and shoes, they'd laugh and joke casually. Attire was jeans and comfortable shirts that were easy to move around in. The students would then proceed to the dance floor and move their bodies to the beat of the music. What were these large gatherings? Religious ceremonies? Club initiation meetings? No, they were called Soc Hops. Dancing was usually the main event. An even amount of rock and disco was played by Soundtech, and often dances such as the “Pogo” could be found on the floor. But if your feet could never quite catch the beat, Soc Hops were a great place to meet friends and talk. As the evening would come to a close, people would begin to put their jackets back on and retrieve their shoes. Why couldn't these people just leave their shoes on? Well, tradi- tions are traditions. x xxxxxxxxxxx: XXXXXXXXX X ..... xxxxxxxxxxx x: xxxxxxx:- During the Back-To-School Dance.
