Streamers of blue and gold decorated all of the class rooms, lockers, and halls, sweaty palms, nervous worried faces; all of these and more were the symp- toms of the 1981 homecoming week and its activities. Nevertheless, the traditional day before activities continued to carry on in their usual manner. The traditional mass given in hon- or of homecoming celebrations. The banquet honoring all the ath- letes and coaches sponsored by the Ramlbing Rams. The homecoming festivities went well even though it was an extremely cold night. When half- time came, the adrenalin was pumping through the veins of all three candidates. They wondered who would be the chosen one. The one who would be the new 1981 St. Xavier homecoming queen. And finally after the antagoniz- ingly long wait, they found out who the winner was. Kim Charo- whas, escorted by Chris Hulett. Kim had chosen “Open Arms” by a popular rock group, “Journey”. The varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders performed a routine to Electric Light Orchestra’s “Hold on Tight to Your Dreams.” The theme selected for homecom- ing. A very special appearance was made by Msgr. Keogan, who was just recovering from extensive sur- gery. Msgr. carried on his tradi- tional duties of crowning the new queen.

“Sweet Dreams” Are A There was no formal banquet to start off the evening of “sweet dreams” on April 30. The seniors, juniors and their dates went their own ways to various restaraunts for dinner before heading to the school for the dance. The dance started at 9:00. Elegantly dressed ladies and suited men entered Bradley auditorium to be greeted by gorgeous decorations. A large gazebo graced the center of the floor. A stairway led up to the stage where the dancing took place. Streamers of blue and sil- ver, the seniors colors, decorat- ed the ceiling. Large crepe pa- per balls, representing ballons, hung from various places around the room. The formal dance ended at midnight but those glorious “sweet dreams” continued long into the night.
