p, up and away, balloons soar upward ntil the lights and the special night fade away by Amy Ryan Are you going to Homecoming? Who are you going with? Did . . . you buy your tickets? . . . What out- fit are you wearing? . . . Are you excited? All these thoughts, tumbling all over each other, seemed to diminish on Oct. 12 as students filled the Roundhouse, for this was really the beginning of a special night. As the lights dimmed, the three home- coming candidates, Debbie Brandt, Amy Ryan, and Kirsten Stroup, and their es- corts for the afternoon, Dwight Boyce, Mike Romme, and Alan Wall, were in- troduced. Even though the pinning of the corsages was forgotten, Mixed En- semble saved the moment and captured everyone's attention by singing, l be- lieve in me. Attired in navy and gray pin-striped blazers with navy skirts complemented with dusty rose blouses, the royal court awaited the announcement of the 1984 Pall Homecoming Queen - and it was - Amy Ryan! You bet we'll beat 'em! exclaimed Mike Romme and right he was. The Bullpups took total control against El Dorado and captured a 33-20 victory. The big win filled the air with excite- ment and high spirits for the long-await- ed dance. But before the win was cinched, the royalty was introduced to a filled stadium, only this time the escorts were Jeff Berlin, Scott Pederson, and john Scott. Dates converged upon the Holiday Manor Convention Center where DJ. Eddie Griswald put on an impressive show. The convention center certainly didn't look like a convention center with the fantastic decorations done by Stugo. lt was balloons, balloons, and more bal- loons and colorful as they were, they seemed to highlight the '84 theme, Dan- cin' with Romance. Between fast dances and slow dances, time slipped away much too quickly and before the fun even appeared to begin, the big night was drawing to a close. It was so eagerly awaited and at times seemed as though Oct. 12 would never arrive, but when it did, it didn't stay long enough. lust long enough to create a feeling of forever that would soon only be a memory. And though the time seemed to steal away and capture the fun, it was the time spent that made it fun. While memories were being made, the last song played and everyone was 'Dan- cin' with Romance. 18fl3all Homecoming To set the mood for Fall Homecoming, the Mixed Ensemble sings Peel the Power as a salute to the royalty and after the crowning of Queen Amy Ryan, they brought the assembly to a fitting close with Still Believe in Me. As the Bullpups battle their gridiron opponent El Dorado at the homecoming game, the royal court looks on attentively. Brandon Wolf sits on the lap of Scott Pederson, escort and Stacey Schrag, flower girl on attendant Kirsten Stroup's lap. Debbie Brandt, Queen Amy Ryan, jeff Berlin and John Scott comprise the rest of the court,
