The Winter Semi-Formal was a tradition, but it was slightly dif- ferent this year. The difference was in the way that the court was nominated. Accordingj to Girls' League ad- visor Deb ie Brenham, The teachers had to nominate people who were attractive, had a hi h academic standing, and who could get along with other students. Each teacher was allowed to nominate as many students as he or she wished, just as long as the stu- dent met certain qualifications. From these, the people with the most votes made court. 5 ROMANCE IS IN THE AIR - as seniors Elvia Nunez and Bill Miller dance the night away. Nunez was on the senior semi-formal court.
