Smith Last game ends football season with tears, joy How many ways are there to skin a cat? At least two. and Skyline managed to employ them in skinning the Bryan Adams Cougars. “I’m really gonna miss all the Friday nights at games. Performing and talking to all my friends was great.” -Cheri Liles The BA game, which served as homecoming for both teams, was dominated by Skyline. Skyline's notable performance and a few key errors by the Cougars let the Raiders take home a 27 to 6 homecoming victory. Though Skyline did play one of its best games all season, all of the excitement was not centered on the action taking place on the field. Band mem- bers and Silhouettes in their last Skyline halftime show celeb- rated their accompishments. while others mourned its end. Silhouette Cheri Liles said. I'm really gonna miss all the Friday nights at games. Per- forming and talkng to all my friends was great. Others in the stands took as much time to socialize and visit as they did to watch the game. The actions on the field were not totally neglected. As the last game of the season ended spirit was high and energy and encouragement radiated from the stands. I was so glad that we won the game. said Kellie Zahn. Winning the homecoming game made me forget about all the other losses. When the game ended and Skyline walked away with its victory, another season had come to an end. So many goals met and so many left. Oh well, mabye next year. •Teresa A mya 20 Student Life

Homecoming traditions not the same old things A couple holds each other tight and slow dances as Total Eclipse of the Heart is played on the stereo. This wasn't an unusual sight as over 950 people attended this year’s Homecoming dance Nov. 4. at the Fairmont Hotel in downtown Dallas. Just as slow dancing wasn't an unusual sight neither was anything else at this year’s Homecoming. Homecoming is a tradition and it stays the same — basically. Girls in formal dresses and guys in three piece suits adorned with corsages and boutineers respectively would be expected at any Homecoming dance. But the styles and the people made Skyline’s unique. The styles differed greatly. ' said Susan Baker. 1 saw a couple of guys that had on tuxes and another that had on slacks and a sweater. It didn’t look like they were going to the same place. “The fashions went from frilly to sophisticated to real “It (Homecoming) was so much fun. Being a part of the Senate and hav- ing all of our plans come true really made it great. Nothing went wrong.” -Stacy Young plain. said Rhonda Smith. Picture taking is another Homecoming tradition but an extra flash was added this year. The Senate hired Flash Photography to take pictures of students dancing, eating and socializing. Hors d'oeurves and decorations are two things that no Homecoming should be without. Fggrolls offered a change of pace for this year's attendants. The decorations also offered a change of pace because patrons were greeted by an ice sculpture of the Raider horse. This year was also different in that the Senate planned every detail of the dance. They helped to design the tickets and the promotional posters. They reserved the ballroom, set the date and sold the tickets. It (homecoming) was so much fun. said Senator Stacy Young. Being a part of the Senate and having all of our plans come true really made it great. Nothing went wrong. Homecoming, a yearly tradition, is mainly the same, but with the students, trends and music, each year offers a different aspect to an old tradition. -Sheri Stoilghill Kelly Burns fixes her hair while («iking a Break from dancing at homecoming.
