Couples Enchanted At Pop Ball Activities It was once again that special time of the year, transform- ing the everyday routine of life into a night that would be remembered forever. Stu- dent Council members met after school until late the night of Friday, February 7 to begin putting together decorations that were built weeks before. After hours of planning, organizing and preparing, the cafeteria and auditorium were ready. The room normally crowded with students eating lunches was at this point a grand ball- room. The auditorium stage, Enjoying the presentation, sen- iors Michelle Stuart, Tracy Casste- vens and Melodee Walker stand on stage together, 18fStudent Life covered with sand, a water- fall and a treasure chest gave the perfect impression of the night's theme: Enchantment Under the Sea.
