Despite the rainy weather and other diffi- culties in holding Homecoming, Oct. 19 was a memorable occasion. The student council, with the theme of Shanghai Breezes, turned the cafeteria into an Oriental setting. ‘It was a lot of hard work and it took up a lot of time and effort, but we feel it turned out well,’’ said sopho- more James Werner. Student council sponsor Diane Onstot took advantage of junior Krista Doster’s father’s trip to the Orient in order to ac- cummulate authentic Oriental decorations for the dance. These included fans, kites, candles, umbrellas, hats, lanterns and printed chopsticks. These decorations proved to be popular souvenirs at the dance. Also, the woodworking students GNRAVELING LANTERN STRINGS, freshman Amy Walter is busy helping the student council decorate for the dance. The oriental decorations were authen- tic.

One of the most patient, sophomore Tara Ventura said, ‘‘! got real excited see- ing all my friends dressed up and smiling.” After the pictures came the dance with its varied music played by a deejay. The official crowning of the Homecoming queen, Raye-Anne Talton, was held before some couples departed to engage in dinner activities. Thinking back on the night’s events, senior Kayla McClosky said, ‘‘I thought it was very well planned, and the decorations were really nice. It was the best dance yet.” AT THE PUNCH BOWL, junior Michelle Britton reads her fortune while her escort Kelly Riley pours a glass of punch.
