The sounds of Wild Horses blared They passed each other, exchanging greetings, casually introducing their girls, quickly confirming their plans for the coming evening. The crowd was rowdy right from the start. Bodies crammed the Student Center, girls brushing their bodies against boys, boys against girls. The band, known for its renditions of the Doors and the Rolling Stones, not to mention a few of their own songs, rocked the crowd into a frenzy. They jumped up and down, ran in circles, and shook every moveable part of their bodies. There was barely enough room to breathe on the dance floor, but no one cared. The sweat poured down their faces; suitcoats were strewn over the chairs and floor. Everyone was having the time of his life. They were a crowd that would make any band feel like they were playing at the Coliseum. When Wild Horses played Funky Poodle, the crowd—separate individuals—united. It went wild. A spirit permeated the crowd, a spirit the school had lacked for several years. The theme echoed this spirit: Blue and Gold: an old fashioned homecoming. A wayward spirit had returned home. In full force. October 1 7
