Jaeggi Nyffeler crowned royalty Spring Royalty on March 7 was well received by the students at CHS. It appeared that everyone there had a good time dancing to the sounds of Columbus’ newest group, “The Recking Company. Instead of a Sweetheart dance, CHS Student Council decided to try something different by having a dance later in the year. The main reason behind this was the fact that there were no open weekends in February to have a dance. During coronation, Lyle Nyffeler, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Nyffeler, and Lori Jaeggi, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walt Jaeggi, were crowned King and Queen. Juniors Brenda Glur and Kelly Person and Sophomores Karen Miller and Jay Bullington presided over their classes as royalty. This dance, which had a considerably better turn out than Snowball, was considered one of the more successful ones by Student Council members. Sophomore candidates for royalty were Lori Dohmen, Lisa Bobert, Karen Miller, Teresa Kyster, Connie Micek, Sunny Sherertz, Jay Bullington, Rich Carmicheal, Corey Floren-do, Larry Jacobs, Troy Paben and Todd Thalken. The Class of 1980 candidates included Shari Dohmen, Brenda Glur, Polly Hadan, Karla Keeshan, Meshell McDowell, Heidi Sloth, Kurt Armstrong, Doug Becher, Tom Goc, Scott Goering, Kelly Person, and Gary Podraza. Senior royalty candidates included Joni Gutzmer, Lori Jaeggi, Judy Lassek, Susan Lloyd, Debi Rice, Kay Robinson, Rich Englemann, Mark Stock-man, Lyle Nyffeler, Craig Scheideg-ger, Terry Wilhelms and Dan Volnek.

Snowball goes disco Snowball 1979-80, sponsored by Stu-Co, was held Dec. 21 in the cafeteria. Coronation was at 10:00 as Doug Rice and Kathi Miles were crowned King and Queen. There was no band this year. The disco-like atmosphere included a D.J. playing tapes. Mari Lincoln said, “The special effects were really neat.” Attendance was small. “There weren’t many people there because of the games,” remarked Mary Kunes. Blinking lights on the Christmas tree in the commons complimented the new furniture, which consisted of chairs, love-seats, and couches. Tired couples could relax in comfort when they put to use the furniture, which was purchased by Stu-Co. Queen candidates were Traci Grubaugh, Kim Keeshan, Kathi Miles, Jan Moore, Lynn Strehle, and Jaye Stone. King candidates were Al Haney. Doug Rice. Tom Sackett, Scott Swartz, Brian Thalken, and Mike Whetstone. Disco lights flashed and the D.J. played tapes of such groups as The Bee Gees, The Village People. Foreigner. The Cars, plus many other groups. Monica Mullens. John Anderson, and other couples enjoyed the music and the mood. Pam Thomsen and Mr. Dixon count gate receipts at the Student Council-sponsored dance. Gary Podraza and Michelea Spegel sample the refreshments in the Commons. 18 Student Lite
