m Xvi l m kokk Dancing, the continuous movement of the body to music, was as old as man. Dances were one of the favorite events of the year, such as Soc-Hops which were held directly after the football and basketball games. Holidays and special occasions warranted other names: a Christmas Dance, the Sweetheart Dance for Valentine’s Day and a Sadie-Hawkins Dance in the fall. In early May, the Seniors held their formal Prom, their last dance at Lake Braddock. If we lived in the 170Q’s when the nation was just getting started, we would have danced the “Minuet.” After the Declaration of Independence was signed, people danced the “Waltz.” As the United States grew in size from thirteen states to forty-eight states, the “Tango,” “Charleston,” and “Black Bottom” were the three big dances. Later, in the thirties, in order to lift their spirits from the depression, the nation did the “Varsity Drag,” “Big Apple,” and “Continental,” In the forties after the nation survived the depression new dances such as the “Jitter Bug,” “Boogie Woogie” and “Jive” appeared. The Fifties brought Rock and Roll, the “Monkey” and “Momba.” A new style of dancing emerged in the Sixties with names as the “Twist,” “Funkey Chicken” and “Frug,” The political scene of the Seventies involved the Watergate scandal, national recession and inflation, but three new dances, the “Hustle,” “Disco Strut,” and “Bump” emerged from the serious tones of the country. Eric Boch lights up the stage with South Side of the Sky. Robert Grimm and Sallie Hole get a bang out of doing the ‘ ' Bump. The super sound of South Side of the Sky brings out the dancers in Danny Page and Donna Hole. Shulrnl Lifts d l

CLUBS ORGAN IZ hroughout the three years of Lake Braddock’s existence lew clubs have been formed creating a wide range of ctivity for the students. Each year more clubs are noted s being found and formed including such ones as the bike, afro-american, amateur radio, and High-Y, Those were just a few that had been accepted and added to the “75-76” list of clubs and organizations. With the constant addition of clubs it is hard for some to realize that many have declined. If the Lair’s yearbooks were compared, one would find that model railroad, military strategy, rifle, and chess club no longer exist in the “76” book. Some clubs and organizations like cheerleaders, drill teams, S.G.A., and class governments will always be around, but the smaller clubs just seem to come for one year and disap¬ pear the next. As long as the students of Lake Braddock come up with new clubs there are bound to be interests that involve everyone. So if any new clubs or organization are formed or any old one is of some interest, J-O-I-N and have a good time. r FEBRUARY ' MARC!-! APRIL Clubs and Organizations 3J
