ii- l-r - Girl's Take htWhat exactly is a Twirp dance? asked a freshman as he stared up at the poster that advertised the event. A Twirp Dance was another word for a Sadie Hawkins dance. It was sponsored by the sophomore class on April 15. Twirp stands for The Woman is Re- quired To Pay? It was a formal dance where the girl asks the boy to go and in some cases she must pay for dinner and most of the other expenses that go along with Twirp. uThe Twirp was small but we had fun Taking a break from dancing, Kevin Palowski. Louis Matriciano, and Laura Massaor sit and watch the other students dance the night away. A lot offun was had by all who attended the dance. Horsing around again3Keith Radkowski puts Bill Vencil in the headlock as a joke while Julie Pave- lino looks on. Charge with our dates? said junior Marcia Rob- inson. Although most of those attending had dates, some people still had fun going with a group of friends. This years Twirp was held in the school cafeteria. Former Harbor student Chris Music provided the music and par- ents volunteered as chaperones. The best description of Twirp came from someone who remarkedfTwirp is a mini-prom where everyone can attend because no sophomore of freshman is at- tending prom.

Munching on cookies, Doug Blemen and Jeanen Williams Lake a break form the action. Dancing the evening away, Kelly Holcomb and her classmates enjoy the music. Cheerfully collecting the money, Mrs. lsco chats with Kim Ketchum and Craig Reese as they enter the dance. For Twirp, the girl asks the boy rather than the traditional boy-ask-girl dance. Moving to the beat, these students have some fun. A variety of fast and slow songs were played by disc jockey, Chris Music.

Suffering the abuse of her Spanish students, Mrs. Stevenson grimaces as she is blasted with another wet sponge. Siesta time! Kip Sevenno takes a short break to relax from the evenings festivities. And he's off! Steve Palmer scoots offin the Tour de France tricycle race. Paricipanls supplied their own bikes for this journey through the halls. Fun and laughter The first annual foreign language fair was held here at Harbor High School on Tuesday April 25. The evenings events included a mock Tour de France, a visit from a wandering vender, traveling gui- tarist, a wet sponge throwing contest, and a volleyball game between languages. The cafeteria was decked out in flags of many countries which helped add to the atmosphere. Students in the mock Tour de Franc were required to ride a tricycle or child size vehicle around the first floor halls. Ron Balcomb, the winner of the race, re- ceived a T-shin just as one would in France. The volleyball games were divided into beginning Spanish vs. advanced 16lFeature Spanish and German vs. French. In the fmal match, the Germans took on the advanced Spanish and won. To many, the best part of the evening was an a large table covered with foods of three nationalities. J ust by looking at the food table, a person could tell that the largest language club in school was the Spanish Club. There was taco salad after taco salad, after taco salad. The German students brought in plenty of sausage and sour krout while the French brought in the majority of the deserts. There were tons of chocolate mouse cakes, me- ringues, and Belgium waffles. For all involved, the night proved to be one of fun and laughter.
