Let ' s bump and boogie the whole Students often felt they could barely make it through just one day of school. If you were to ask one to come back at night the answer would most likely be, “No way!” But it became a different story when something special was happening, such as a school dance. Feelings changed because they faced a dance floor, music and fun instead of pencils, papers and books. Of course, there was still student discipline. Principals and teachers chaperoned the dance and sometimes even ended up on the floor dancing themselves. Friends danced to the beats of rock and roll at the Topsy Turvy dance in which the girls asked their favorite guys out for the night. You may have caught a few doing the “bump”, the “hustle”, or maybe just “their own thing” at the cheerleaders’ beginning-of-school “get-together.” Then there was the VICA dance when rap sessions became more popular in the lobby. Smiling faces gathered in their own little groups while others ran straight to the refreshment tables to quench their thirst. As the music got louder and the feet got weaker, the end of the dance arrived sooner than expected. It was usually much too early to return home so students ended a great night by going elsewhere and making parties of their own. Great time. Ricky Rowland and Dawn Rogers rock to the sounds of ' Sandcastle ' at the VICA Club dance, an annual event for club members and their guests 18 Dances
