The date was October 21, 1978. The time was 8:00 p.m. The place was the Student Center. The event was the 1978 Homecoming Dance. The result was over 190 couples having a superb time. The theme of the dance “was Roman Holiday and upon entering a sense of ancient Rome prevailed. Whether it was the Roman garden, the workers in togas, the Temple of the Gods or the chariot complete with horse and driver, one felt he had been transported to Rome for a night. The couples danced to the music of Salem Witchcraft, a popular band from the Detroit area. The Homecoming Committee of Bob Beletic, Bob LaGanke, Mike Wolfe and Mike Hudec put in hours of hard work which resulted in a generally splendid evening.

NOVEMBER: BO-59, 4.00 AND 32° November possessed a different image than preceding months. Transition was prevalent and marked this period. Transition pervaded the atmosphere and brought with it winds of change. The Indian summer came to an abrupt end and the bone chilling weather introduced the winter season. The football team closed their season in a burst of glory as they trounced the Rhodes Rams. The Varsity harriers journeyed to Columbus for the first time since 1968 and participated in the highly competitive State Cross Country Tournament. They finished an admirable eighth and set the stage for the annual cage rivalry with the awesome Latin Lions. The outcome was a one point Latin victory which ended a twenty year winning reign. Grapplers struggled to make weight and endured rigorous workouts in preparation for a gueling season under first year coach Mr. lack Lakus. On the academic scene students were acquainted with the new grading system. Student's complaints were left unanswered and they gradually became accustomed to the new system after cries of grievance. Students began to apply their energy to varied interests as transition permeated the scene and introduced the winter months. Belovs: Most students found the four point system more difficult th.in the old grades by percentage. Wearing heavy clothing due to the increasingly cold weather, Matt Harmody and John Westerh spend their time usefully in study in order to keep up with the new grading system. transition 17
