Party! By the time the weekend arrived, studying was the farthest thing from most Marshall students' minds. Instead, night life and dancing seemed more important. After a full week of studying, most were more than ready to trade their text books for a pair of dancing shoes. So, friends would get together and go to local hot spots to dance the night away. Students developed their own style of dancing, many of which were copies from movies and television shows. Many weekly shows helped keep students up-to-date on the current fads and crazes. Movies also played their part in influencing dancing styles. The popular movie Dirty Dancing, which starred Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, reflected the dancing style of the '50s. Many students thought of dancing as a way to show off to their friends. And, area clubs gave them the opportunity. Robb s sponsored one contest that was patterned after the movie. One requirement of the contest was the use of music from the sound track. Otherwise, contestants were free to develop their own style. The winners of the contest were Bill Gandee, first place, and Brenda Bailes, second place. Why did students like to dance? Rebecca Purvis, Poca junior, explained her views. It's fun. When I'm out with my boyfriend, we like to dance and have a good time. Other students still preferred the challenge that competitions offer and also the thrill of winning, not to mention the prizes. heaturmg music with a different fla- Dancing at Hobby's, these customers vor, the Rock and Roll Cafe featured enjoyed great music and videos on bands every night. large-screen TV. 18
