Oriental theme is catalyst for large turnout I t seems that this year we took a chance with a different theme and a different approach and it paid off, said Pamela Cromey, student council president. Netting over SBOO, the 1982 Supreme was attended by 360 people, which was the largest turnout of the three Supremes held in Clark's history. Publicity for the dance made the differ- ence. Printed posters and fortune cookies with new twists and old proverbs helped build enthusiasm for the dance. Number one date will like to go to the Supreme Ball February l3 , He who attends the Supreme Ball will have a ball , and Most Honorable Evening-February 13 increased interest around the bid table at noon in the cafeteria. P aper dragons, kites, Chinese lanterns, and fans adorned the Granada Royale Hometel ballroom, in accordance to the theme, Images of the Orient . The band, Eurasia, played predominantly rock, which was appreciated by most in attendance. lf you went there and danced, it was a lot of fun. But those who didn't dance seemed to have. a boring time, com' mented junior Kelly Taylor. I really enjoyed it, the atmosphere was great. The only drawback though, was that the band only played a few slow songs. Otherwise, they were great.

Throughout the first semester, student council offia cers listened to many bands before choosing Eurasia. Not only did their style of music suit Clark's taste, but their name fit in with the Oriental theme. 14' Supreme

One couldn't help but pick up the spirit! l couldn't wait until halftime. The band i:ouldn't have triggered the emotions of the crowd any better. With 'Hello Again' play- ing in the background and the court being introduced, l caught myself getting as nerv- ous, if not more, than the girls out there. After what seemed forever, l finally heard Pam Cromey announce, ' . . . and the 1981 Homecoming King and Queen are Mark Curtis and LaRhesa Moonl' l clapped and cheered like everyone else, and then sud- denly it was over. The 'fantasy world' aspect of the whole thing disappeared and l found myself anxiously awaiting the begin- ning of the second half. Losing the game to district champs Holmes, did not put a dam- per on the atmosphere. l was very proud of our Coogs for they put up a good fight with a final score of 13-26. Saturday was quieter in comparison to the day before. l was behind the scenes at the yearbook distribution, but by looking l could tell there had been a good turn-out. Seeing last years graduates was exciting and yet sad because l was closer to the people in the Class of '81 then any other class. The dance was like any other Clark dance. l regret to say the most exciting part was buying myself a new dress and getting my corsage . . . As a senior this was by far my best homecoming. l'm sure next year will be fun to come home and be the alumni instead of the high school student, but I know nothing will ever compare to my Senior year!
