Members of Highland- ers and SCOT SenaTe worked every day afTer school for a monTh prior To The dance and for abouT Ten hours The nighT before The dance. AfTer decoraT- ing for Ten hours on Friday nighT, I never ThoughT we would finish in Time, buT all The work paid off, said Dawn Ruisz, junior. Black and gold paper ac- cenTed wiTh an occasional Top haT and cane lined The bleachers. Life-size playing cards were spread in a fan design on The wall behind The hors d'oeuvre Tables. Large black and gold sTreamers were draped from The bleachers To cre- aTe a dropped ceiling. T'The decoraTions we had, The candle-liT paTh, and The swan gaTes really added a Touch of magic To The even- ing, sTaTed Dina KarTch, Homecoming chairman.
