The lights flashed and the dancers swayed and rocked to the beat of the music that pulsed from the speakers sky high in the auditorium. The couples were in high spirits ready to take on the thirty hours of dancing. People came to see the couples as they danced to the music and the lights of the dance marathon to raise money for the Homesteadlwoodside athletic booster club. The money raised is to be used to buy new uniforms and sports equipment. A majority of time money will be used to purchase a video system, said athletic director Tom Baker. The system will include an ultravision 2000CR video projector, a VHS analyzer and a video recorder and accessories. The total amount of money raised totaled S22,000. The winning couple, John Reidel and Angie Ables, brought in their share of 81992, receiving S300 as their reward for long hours of SLOWING DOWN THET1.. tempo, sophomores Jennie Stafford and Matt Sloan keep moving through 30 hours of dancing tc raise money for thc athletes. iPhoto by: B. Schoppmanj Overall the dance marathon was a success and it was worth being in. Senior J. B. Healy on Dance Marathon dancing and time spent on getting pledges. Tricia Burke and Chris Bible came in second followed by Betsy Neufer and Vince VanDam in third. The annual marathon got started Friday, February the 27th at 6 o'c1ock and lasted until Saturday night at midnight. There were contests for the best dressed features, blue and gold, imitating sports personalities, and best beach attire. The dancers had a 10 minute break every hour and two shower breaks. A surprise came when an anoynomous person pledged S500 to every senior couple. As the last few hours rolled around the lights seemed fuzzy and blurred to the dancers who had managed to make it through the 30 hours. The dancers were excited to have made it through the long hours. Thoughts of sleep, food, and clean clothes ran through their minds as they danced to the last song.
