The Eagle Times

It’s almost here. The preparations are in the works.The plans are all laid out. The dresses and ties have been bought. The dinner reservations have been made, and its approaching faster than ever. This year’s homecoming dance is one of the biggest even of the week. It will take place on Saturday, October 27th. This year’s dance will be in the Cafeteria. It starts and 8:00, with a lock-in at 8:30 and it ends at 11:30. This year will be the first year that there is a breathalyzer at St. John Homecoming. Many students feel as if it isn’t needed while others say it doesn’t really bother them. There will also be a King and Queen dance where the Homecoming Queen and Homecoming King share a dance. At the dance, there will also be a DJ playing tunes and photographer taking pictures. The night is expected to be a night of laughter, high time, and enjoyment.

Many students at St. John are excited and ready for the dance. I asked junior Kayla Tempenaro how she felt about the dance and she replied, “I am so excited. I cannot wait to get out there and have fun. I am so excited for Saturday night. I can’t wait to spend time with my friends and have fun on the dance floor.” Most students are overjoyed, but for the seniors, it is their last homecoming dance. I asked senior Lyndsey Daigle how she felt about her last homecoming and she said, “I’m so upset. I want it to never end. I’m not ready to end the memories and fun with my senior class. I guess I’ll just have to make the best of my last homecoming dance. I hope Saturday will be the best Homecoming I ever had.”

Hopefully, this year’s dance will bring fun to all who attend, and a wonderful memory the Class of 2008.
