I •• ■ t was really great seeing old friends again, commented Sophomore Missy Rowland. It was a lot of fun, added Sophomore Paula Weston. These girls were just two of the nearly seven hundred students from Walnut and Diamond Bar High who attended the Sock Hop on Friday, November 19. The dance was held in the Diamond Bar gym. The music featured was sixties rock, and was played by the band Papa Doo Run Run. During breaks in the dance, a drawing was held. Prizes such as pizzas, candy, and gift certificates were given away. Winners were Ron Carino, Adriana Craciun, Amy Dwyre, Kim Gruber, Kristen Mahlstede, money on this event. The evening cost them $ 1 500, and the proceeds had to be split with Walnut High, despite the fact only 200 WHS students attended. Most of the Walnut students who did attend came because they received free na- chos after purchasing tickets at their stu- dent store. It was a really good idea. I think they should do more to bring Walnut students over here. We can ' t regard them as being a different school, because Dia- mond Bar was once a part of Walnut, said junior Eric Shin. Despite financial worries and low Walnut attendance, most students felt the evening was both enjoyable and worthwhile. I had Did You Doc auh Terry Needham, Felicia Reed, Kriss Reed, Margaret Reza, Terry Reza, Alison Stowell, and Deanne Swift. After the crowd drifted away and the band left, students carried with them memories of a happy evening. But the ASB walked away worried, for they had lost a great time at the dance, but I wish they played a better variety of music. Something more recent, commented Walnut senior Lorinda Coffman.
