Hula dancing at the homecoming luau, Junior Dub Norwood shows ott his special talent. We had a good time putting it together, so it had to be a success, commented Dub. l like the idea of a luau, Freshman Brenda Baxter said with a laugh, because there you can act crazy with all of your friends, and then you can be serious with your date at the game. For the first time in Stratford's history, the traditional homecoming dance was replaced by a Hawaiian Luau Pep Party, Nov. 2. The Pep Party was excellent! commented Student Council President Senior John Saad. t'Seniors finally showed up and it went real well. Everyone was dancing - even the principals. Mr. Buddy can't dance, but he had a good time trying. Whereas football players were usually required to be in by 10:00 the night before a game, Coach Oscar Cripps allowed players to stay out until 1:00 for the pep party. I Junior Ernie Segundo 1- FWZ?
