Q Although the cancellation of Morningstar was unexpected, DECA pulled to- gether and hired the J.T. Cooke Band to perform at the annual Harvest Dance. Text by Cathy Cole What could have been the largest drawing dance in the history of the school, the 1979 Harvest Dance, turned out instead to be a poorly at- tended concert. The reason for this was the last minute cancellation by the popular band Momingstar. 'lAfter Morningstar cancelled, we had to try hard and work fast to have a band. we ended up, satisfied, with the l.T. Cooke Band, said Elizabeth Karigan, DECA sponsor. But according to lane LaMarre, senior, the absence of Momingstar did not make much difference. l'The dance was still enjoyable even though so few people attended. Every- one just enjoyed dancing together as 2 group. LaMarre said. Although the dance may have been a success to some, DECA came out in the hole 5350, according to Karigan. UThirty or 40 people attended and that wasn't enough to cover the S500 fee. Karrigan added. There are two main objectives be- hind the Harvest Dance. First of all, it is a publicity activity for DECA. i'We want to let the students know that Grandview has a distributive edu- cation class, Karrigan said. Also the dance' raises money for charity. This year the proceeds were donated to Muscular Dystrophy. Funds are raised through voting pro- cedures for a Harvest King and Queen. Students voted by donating money to the candidate of their choice. DECA candidates came in first, David lones, junior and Tricia Bowley, sopho- more. The runner-up position was tak- en by Latin Club, by Taylor Strecker and Jayne Comfort, seniors. King and queen for the Harvest Dance were ju- nior, David lones and sophomore Tricia Bowley. Their collections totaled 552981. Seniors Taylor Strecker and layne Comfort were the first runners-up, They collected a total of 52235. Harvest Dance!CC

l len hil Text by Diane Cromer Sandee Hill can best be compared to a record at high speed . . . nonstop . . . constantly spinning and with only an occassional skip, or rather breath. Sandee's album has been a hard one to sell, particularly with the Chiefs former Dave Hill as a father, and Grandview's 78-79 star quarterback Rusty Hill for a brother. However, Sandee Hill has hit the pop charts and is now playing to a more apprecia- tive audience. I was always proud of them, but sometimes I used to wish they weren't who they were just to seeif people really liked me for me, Sandee Hill, snowflake queen, said. snowflake queen, said. These feelings, Sandee said, were a constant companion to her during her junior high school days and sophomore year. It seemed everything was a contest to see how I could compare with Rusty, the sandy-haired senior said. 'Everyone thought Rusty was everything. dig-Iowever, she said her mother was always there to support her in everything she 1 . I mean, my dad was interested too, but my mom was really supportive of things I did, Sandee said. But it was during her sophomore year that she began to realize that although she didn't receive all the public attention and coverage, her dad and brother had, her accomplishments were just as important. This under- standing has made it easier for her to accept her brother's image among people. 'iRusty shouldn't try not to do his best because of me, she said, 'I never tmought of him as conceited because I think he handled his publicity rea we As far as Sandee is concerned, that is Rusty and she is a totally different person, And for that reason Sandee emerged as an individual - an individuality that makes her special. When she was a sophomore she came to the conclusion that cheerleading was not that important and she developed other areas of talent. Number one was her writing and she was able to expand her writing skills bv being named the STUDENT Magazine editor. l'I never had the time to devote to my writing, but now I do, she said. Sandee's poetry and her typically Sandee Hill editorials in the STUDENT have moved many fellow students. Moreover, Sandee refers to herself no longer as a 'ishallow party goer , and she is indeed independent and her own person. There is only one Sandee Hillxand although she was thrilled at the Snowflake Queen title, it won't change her. I was a queen for a night, but I am still just Sandee all the other 300 or whatever d3YS in a year. She pauses .... The record has ski ed a ain PP 8 ' . anlzlayae she hasn't realized it yet, but Sandee Hill has been a top ten hit er i e. Queen Sandee Hill, during her junior and senior years, expanded her writing talent through her POEUY and the STUDENT Magazine. Senior attendant Kim Chatfield and Sandee Hill, queen, were nominated by Student Council re- presentatives at the November meeting. The queen and her court were jenny Stuckey, juniorg Kim Chatfield, senior, Sandee Hill, senior, and Lisa Arbanas, sophomore. The Country Club Plaza celebrated its golden anniversary in December 1979.
