ored? Romantically frustrated? Oftentimes, students found themselves needing a break from the academic pressures of school, or simply looking for a place to have fun and be with friends. Look no further! The solution to these problems was only a stag dance away. Starting the year off with the annual Howdy Dance on Saturday, September 19, many students, including freshman Jason Goldstein agreed that, Dances were a perfect place to socialize and meet different people . . . the first dance of the year, especially. There are so many new faces and interesting people, it's a good place to check out who you'll be going to school with the rest of the year. With Toga as the theme, the quad as the location, and ASB as the sponsor for the dance, the Howdy Dance proved to be a night where all could let loose. Another stag dance which broke the monotony of the average weekend was the Christmas formal. With the title, Jingle Bell Jam this dance was unlike the rest of the stag dances. Although the dance itself was stag, it was different because the dress-code was semi-formal. Held in the lower Civic Auditorium on December 11th, students were able to dress-up for the holiday season, while not being restricted to one date. Freshman Ron Lopez stated, HStag dances are so much better because you can dance with whoever you want. l like the freedom of being able to dance with a variety of people. l guess it all depends on who you're with too. With February came Valentine's Day, and of course the Valentine's Dance. Held in the cafeteria after the basketball game, the Valentine's Dance took place on February 4th, 'AWhat l really liked about this dance was that it was after a game. Everyone was already hyper, it made dancing twice as much fun, stated freshman Paulette Rigdon. Later that evening, seniors Brad Adam and Stephanie Abrams were crowned King and Queen of Hearts. ln addition to the excitement of the night, this event further set the mood for Valentine's Day. As the year came to an end, so did the stag dances. The last stag dance of the year was held in the quad. Under the star-covered sky, students were found once again with that same carefree attitude. Seniors, some with tears in their eyes, realizing that their high school days were finally coming to an end, savored these last precious moments with their friends. However, for the more fortunate underclassmen, they simply looked forward to summer and the next year. Junior Sadie Le Cheminant stated, Stag dances are so much fun. Because l'm dressed comfortably and l'm not tied down to one person, l can totally be myself and get as wild as l want to get. . .now that's something to look forward to! by Michelle Oh Stag dances riends Forever! The Howdy Dance proves l to be a place to get wild with friends. Senior Kim Davy, juniors Heather Stevenson and Dominique Rooney displayed their enthusiasm by dressing in their togas and just plain having fun!

Life at lunch lthough off-campus frolicking proved to be the most popular way to spend lunch time, those less fortunate students who either chose or were forced to stay at school partici' pated in a number of activities. For numerous reasons, lunch on cam- pus resembled another boring classroom or even a prison sentence. l can't wait until l get my drivers license, com- plained freshman Danae Fielder. l'm going to go out to lunch every day. Not only was the lack of transportation a rea- son to hang around school, certain obli- gations had to be met. Whether this meant serving time in detention, finish- ing up an essay due fifth period or just having to eat the cafeteria food, more favorable means of wasting time could only be dreamt of Some students however became in volved with the many on-campus activi ties and actually enjoyed themselves From club meetings to volleyball games to just freeloading in the quad, students found many advantages to staying at school. Commented junior Bill Theisinger, The main reason l don't go out for lunch is to save money, School food costs much less than fast food Whether remaining on campus for lunch was voluntary or not, enough could be found to keep anyone busy. by Joel Larson Lunch on campus Travis Neale, Sean Doyle, Trey Pogue, Kim Downs Tina Rhee, and Matt Aldrich prove that there is more to lunch than just food.
