The team members and their fans celebrated their valiant struggle at the Homecoming Dance on Sat- urday, October 5. The commons was a melee of multi-colored streamers and balloons, which were torn down by the eager students as keepsakes of the night. The disc jockey, Lloyd Brown, dedicated the song “All | Need” to all the members of the Homecoming Court, who led their classmates in the dance. The dance ended as the last song of the night faded away, but the mem- ories will stay with each student forever.
