Dance ‘til you drop. At many of the dances student attendance was not as high as it had been in the past, with the exception of the Homecoming Dance and the Super Dance. The Hoedown Dance co-sponsored by the sophomore and freshman was not well- attended for a dance that took place after a Friday night basketball game. Ac- cording to Matt Kern, “‘It was fun playing in the hay.”’ In fact, dances in the high classes school had barely been breaking even. In contrast to these super dance dances, the Super Dance was extremely successful. It started at 9:00 p.m. and lasted until 2:00 a.m. Ac- cording to Mrs. Erin A l- bright, Student Council As- sociation advisor, students raised approximately $2,700 for the Muscular Distrophy Association. In association with the SCA, students had to raise $25 in donations for an entry fee. Students who entered the dance with $25 received a free T-shirt, a lei, and free Pizza Hut pizza and 7-Up. There were plenty of activities: volleyball tourna- ments, a limbo contest (won Carlos Rodriguez gets on his toes to win the limbo contest.

The SCA promoted the free ani- dance with the help of Renee Marchese, the spokesperson for MDA. She helped the SCA attain the deejay and came up with many ideas for entertain- ment. She and the SCA also organized an assembly for the high school held a week before the dance. Renee gave general information as to the purpose of MDA and how the money made from the Super Dance would be used. John Buckback, the Muscular Distrophy Poster Child, was introduced. He encouraged students to com e to the dance; unfor. tunately, it was too late at night for him to be there. The Super Dance was 4 success. The Student Coun- cil planned to make this dance a tradition in our school not only because of the fun, but because it also enabled students to help a needy charity.
