Homecoming Dance 1988 .. . A Night of Magic The 1988-89 Homecoming Dance was an exciting event for many Monacan students. The SCA began preparing for the eighth of October many weeks in advance. They decided on the theme and then decorated ac- cordingly. The Saturday morn- ing before the dance the SCA officers, a few representatives, and sponsor Mr. Ken Butta worked diligently to change the Upperclassman Dining Hall into a room filled with magic. Homecoming provided the chance for dressing up and hav- ing a great time with that special guy or girl. Those attending danced to music provided by Crimson, a professional band. The theme for the dance was “Do you believe in magic?” Two magicians, one of whom was Monacan’s own Kevin Finu- cane, performed during the band’s break. The crowd seemed to enjoy them and talked about them for several days afterwards. Everyone enjoyed themselves as they danced the night away. Unfortunately, the night had to end. Eddie Dooley and Mike Dougherty gave an ending that no one will ever forget: a smash- ing duet of “Under the Board- walk.” Michelle Wilson, Stephanie Smigo and their dates enjoy a breath of fresh air in the courtyard during the dance. Taking a break from dancing, Sherita Smith and Stan Clanton enjoy a moment together. 12 HOMECOMING DANCE

Bulldogs: Who invited you to Homecoming? The field was empty and qui- et, nothing moving under the cold lights illuminating the area. The spectators began to file into the stadium, taking their places on the cold steel bleachers. Par- ents, students and friends all waited for the 1988 Homecom- ing game to begin. All hoped for victory over the visiting team, George Wythe High School. The festivities began with the Homecoming parade. Each club, organization and class entered the parade which ran from the parking lot of Church of the Epiphany to the track of the Mo- nacan stadium. Although there were many well-done floats, the Future Homemakers of America stole the show with their entry. After the parade, fans waited in anticipation of the game. They weren’t disappointed. Running back Ken Brown with Leslie Hamlett and Alonzo Bul- ler led the Chiefs to victory over George Wythe 26-6. At halftime the 1987 Homecoming Queen passed her crown to her suc- cessor, senior Katie Snow, who was then escorted off the field by Principal John Titus. OR ATR, EAA : Heather Shell and Alanna Jennings led L’alliance de Francais in the Homecom- ing parade. Alonzo Buller leads the Chiefs to vic- tory over George Wythe. 14 HOMECOMING
