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.

Our Town rises above problems, delay Four months of practice culmi- nated Thursday and Friday, Jan. 24 and 25, as the cast and crew from Our Town put on the premiere perform- ances of Skyline's version of the Pul- itzer prize winning play. Early difficulties caused by cast changes were obviously overcome as comments like that of English teacher Margaret Hamlin proved. Mrs. Ham- lin said, It was really well done. I thought it was very professional. Our Town was a difficult play to produce due to the extensive use of pantomime and the sparcely fur- nished stage. Things that would seem relatively unimportant to the average viewer, like coordinating the light directions with the characters' actions and setting the sound effects to occur at the exact moment they were needed, were given top prior- ity. Junior Camille Miller headed the stage crew and communicated by walkie-talkie with Pat Muscanere who was in the balcony throughout the performance. Problems such as the makeup peo- ple not showing up and difficulties in the costume changes at dress rehearsal were solved before open- ing night and the play went well. However, some problems were not solved. Lighting problems, perhaps caused by late preparation, presented a few difficulties. Lighting was not planned until the Tuesday before the Thursday night performance. Experi- enced musical director Dan Peavy set the light board for Mr. Muscanere, but performers occasionally walked out of their stage lights and away from the microphones making them difficult to see and hear. About 300 people attended the two night performances although cast members said that almost $1,000 worth of tickets were sold. Painted lady.
