Yeah, but we didn't have a homecoming king. The queen candidates had to be seniors, and were nominated by the football team, supposedly for their school spirit (read "senior football players girlfriends). The student body elected the winner. All the candidates were driven in a convertible onto the sidelines at halftime, where/when the winner was announced. Dance that night. The football game was the last home game of the year, so every other year was against our arch rival.
I played in the football games, and went to the dances, which everyone went to, girl/boyfriend or not. The dances were nothing special, and drinking *coughboonesfarmapplewinecough* definitely did occur.
