A spotless dance floor was urrounded by elegantly decorated ta- ties at the enormous ball room of the :airmont Hotel, while uniformed valets tood outside waiting for the couples to rrive. The stage was set . . . At 7:30. the music began playing as he first of 1.050 people began entering.

Many hours of preparations were dedicated to the event as it was impor- tant for everything to be just right. 'Buy- ing a dress was extremely hard for me. and 1 could not decide which dress looked the very best. said junior Jen- nifer Walker. Others felt that securing a date well in advance was an important priority so plenty of time could be dedicated to planning the night. “I've always made sure that 1 have a date at least two months before the occa- sion so 1 wouldn't be standing or rush- ing around making hasty preparation. said junior Donna Shaw. The time and energy put into the special night paid off at the dance. Freshmen especially considered it valu- able. This was a good chance to as- sociate with older students. Going to the homecoming dance was a big step for freshmen. It made us feel important just as the upperclassmen felt. said Felecia Taylor. All classifications attended the dance, mingled and shared the excite- ment. It took me about two hours to get ready. said junior Carla Thomas. Homecoming was such a special event. Everyone looks forward to it each year, and this years dance was especially nice and enjoyable. We all had fun! After a string of hit songs and romantic dances, and the crowning of the homecoming queen, the night dwindled down to a spectacular suc- cessful end. -Cynthia White rad McNabb. Kim Plough.
