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.
