The Star Cit Shines Brightly olonels couldn't brag Tonight Cwas our Knight when Home- coming wound down, but as '76 made its exit, they could point to other nights and say Tonight was our night. Although as a rule, night life didn't usually lure people from miles around to the Star City, there were exceptions. john Denver packed 11,632 into the Civic Center to hear his version of Take Me Home, Country Roads. Other roads leading into Roanoke brought local top sellers Chicago, The Doobie Brothers, and Aerosmith. When people got tired of shelling out S5 or S10 for a night on the town, they could sit in the comfort of their homes and watch the big events on T.V. Gone With The Wind, The Way We Were, and Airport proved to be free favorites. Other things also came free, like the Swine Flu vaccine, while some cost a small fee. The ROTC's Hal- loween House gave a little scare for a mere two-bits. For 25u:, stu- dents were issued passes out of second period to watch the boys and girls battle against each other in the Flamingo Football game sponsored by the SCA. It was a tight race down to the last minute, but the girls pulled through with a score of 8-6. The national presidential elec- tion was also a race down to the wire. Iimmy Carter came out on top by defeating President Gerald Ford for the Oval Office. Colonels also proved Iimmy Carter was the man for the job in the mock election organized by the government classes, with Carter winning 389-160. The first three months seemed to blend together to form first impressions. But Colonels agreed that first impressions were lasting ones, and they were just fine, thank you. Not enough to shut down school, the first snow provides ammunition for Michael Clement, Carl Edwards, and Michael Brown. 18 Fall
