 1 Rumbles Entertain Dance Enthusiasts Loud music, a large crowd and a variety of dance tech- niques provided the atmo- sphere for the first 1978 Wildcat Rumble. The dance, held in the school cafeteria, Jan. 7, fol- lowed the Green River basket- ball game. Sponsored by the Pom-Pon girls, the dance was a big success bringing in a profit of approximately $130. Pro- ceeds went to sponsoring the girls at games and tournaments out of town. Unlike a junior high school dance, where dancing was still a timid form of entertainment, these students seemed to do their own thing on the dance floor. While some gracefully swayed from side to side, oth- ers were up one side of the floor and down the other; by the third song of the evening it was more than obvious those individuals to be avoided. The dance lasted from ap- proximately 8:00 to 12:00 p.m., and though it all seemed to go by quickly, students could look forward to the next Wildcat Rumble. 18 Dance
