Clubs, CDC prepare for big event Preparation for Homecoming '79 began several weeks before the big event, involving many organizations and clusters. Horticulture took 125 orders for mums ranging from $5 to $15 and also provided carnations and mums-on-sticks to be sold in the stu- dent center during lunch. Art cluster students, headed by Robert Batson, painted a mural of the Dallas skyline which covered the front wall of the cafeteria. Disc Jockey Jonni Dodd from San Fran- cisco presented the music for the dance. The student senate which spon- sored the annual happening publi- cized the dance, decorated the cafe- teria, sold tickets and provided food and drinks for the dance. Mums the word.

A night to remember The glittery signs advertised the event as a night to remember. For many, homecoming 1979 was. A controversial last second field- goal miss caused the homecoming game against T.J. to be a little too memorable for the Raiders. The game ended in a 14-14 tie. The couples in their corsage and boutonniere bedecked dresses and suits began arriving at 7 p.m. As they entered the cafeteria to the tune of the latest Donna Summer hits, they were emersed in an array of lights and revved-up music. A mural of the Dallas skyline decorated the front wall. Many of the over 400 students who attended the event paid an extra $5.25 to pose with their dates in the student center for Keepsake photos, so that they would have visual mem- ories of the event. As the dance drew near its end, most of the students filed into the auditorium to watch the climactic crowning of the home- coming queen and her court at 11:30. As master of ceremonies Jerry Fazio read short biographies of each of the four student-picked nominees from each class and the four nomi- nated for queen, the girls' escorts walked them to the stage where they were presented carnation bouquets and spotlighted on their walk around the ramp. 1978 queen Leslie Boone also made a traditional farewell walk. Winners included freshman dam- sel Kim Fisher, sophomore duchess Jackie Jones, junior countess Cassan- dra Miller, senior princess Kim Couty and queen Tracy Moses. Tootin their horns.
