Sweetheart Bakery catered cookies, lim Hauber's Great Sounds Audio provided the music, and Miller Studios took pictures. Tickets were sold both at the door and in advance at school and 360 were bought. Dan Lansing, said, I think the dance was fun but I think it would have been a lot better if there would have been a band. Bill Furry, said, It was fun and attendance was high, I usually don't dance but somehow the atmos- phere seemed just perfect for it. Pam Timmerman, social committee chairman, said, We really worked hard on the dance. I think it turned out good and it seemed to be a special night for everyone, a night to remember. t t 1 .
