And It Was A Beautiful Night The 1987-1988 Homecoming Dance was a pictorial view of its theme, “Its Gonna Be A Beautiful Night.” The dance was sponsored by the Senior class and was held October 24, 1987. Spirits were high even after the loss to the Marshall Statesmen the night before. From 8:00pm until 11:30pm, Finale provided a variety of music everyone enjoyed. The dance was well organized by Tanya Bonham (who was also a senior homecoming attendant) and the great attendance was an obvious result. Homecoming Queen and King, Tania Velez and Jackie .Moore lead the traditional homecoming dance. Most of the couples attended the dance after a formal dinner, each attending a wide variety of restaurants ranging from American to Chinese cuisine. Everyone made it to the dance to “boogie down” from dusk till dawn. As the night drew to an end the Homecoming King(Jackie Moore) and Queen (Tania Velez) took part in the traditional homecoming dance. Following the king and queen were each set of class attendants and the rest of the crowd slowly melted in. As students and teachers alike danced to “Truly” by Lionel Richie, each realized it had been said to be a beautiful night ... and it was. — Suun AM rid if . Student Life 1!
