Girls take the dance floor as well as the lead. W G -rtfAt F H if ty years ago, if a girl even thought of asking a guy out, let alone say it, she probably would have had her chores doubled and would have been consid- ered “a disrespectful lady.” Every four years, leap year, it is said that girls take on the more aggressive approach towards guys. Though leap year actually occurs on four year inter- vals, it comes every year with Chi. As the saying goes, “You’ve come a long way baby.” As the turnabout dance neared, the tables were turned and girls took a stand towards equal opportunity. Girls got up enough nerve and asked guys to the semi-formal dance sponsored by Chi Kappa Chi, a non-profit- able organization which donates their funds to charities. After the pre-Chi activities were complet- ed; picking up flowers, loading the film, and getting dressed, 198 couples hopped in their cars and headed toward the After Four Sup- per Club in Cedar Lake, Indiana. Back by popular demand, the band, Pawnz, once again displayed their talent throughout the evening, which lasted from 8 to 11:30. Approximately $4000 was raised from the dance and contributed to various charities. For those girls who couldn’t believe they actually successfully asked a guy to a dance, pictures commemorating the evening were available from James Photography. Pictures ranged from 5 to $10. Although finding the right dress, making sure every hair is in place, and ordering flow- ers to match the tie is definately something to worry about, girls found asking their dates to be the most difficult part. “Even though I knew my date well, it was extremely hard to get enough nerve up to ask him,” stated sophomore Emiko Cardenas. “Now I know what guys have to go through. I’m glad I only have to do it once a year,” exclaimed junior Julie Safron. As 11:30 hit, growling stomachs tri- umphed over aching feet and students went out to enjoy a late night dinner. And that’s the way it was Jan. 14, 1984. Footloose. Leading the line with their fancy moves, seniors Ann Higgins and Ken Klawitter dance up a storm. Two of a kind. Resting and relaxing, junior Shaun Hanas with senior Karen Pfister take time to socialize and discuss the rest of the evening plans with junior Chuck Hanas and date junior Missy Bretz. 26 Chi

Who says school isn’t fun? VC hile involved in an animated conversation, sophomores Lynn Carter and Mary Beth Tafel enjoy a comfortable day in school as they come in sweats for Sweats Day. New Royalty. As the results are announced, the mem- bers of the Homecoming Court cross the floor to take their places at their new thrones. Senior Larry Heming- way won the title, Homecoming King. The princes were junior Jay Grunewald, sophomore Tom Zudock and freshman Tim Broderson. it I will remember Chuck Novak next August, fev.id Football coach, Mr. LeRoy Marsh. Slapped on and smeared all over, the whipped cream covered the floor. This sticky situation reigned on the select few of the faculty members after the dribbling relay at the Homecoming Basketball pep assembly. The race between teachers and students resulted with: winner throws all, while losers takes it all. With students in the lead, the teachers got creamed. It was a sweet sight to see.

Lets go dancing. Animated by loud rock music, ju- niors Jenny Durham and Mike Dillion move their feet to the sounds of the Chi band, Pawnz. Right on time. Arriving at the After Four Supper Club at the start of the dance, 8:30, juniors Brett Rob- bins and Lisa Mitchell pick up their memory books in order to have a nice reminder of the evening. m inchline iwe were all looking for our names on the wall and I couldn’t find mine. Then my date noticed that my name had been spelled wrong. Instead of saying Sandy, it said Pandy, A A stat- ed junior Sandy Petrashevich. For every perfect hour of a dance night, there are five minutes set aside for disaster. Not every dress has been fit for a queen and for every circumstance that has a graceful outcome, there are 20 other not so graceful ones. “As I was going to get my picture taken, I tripped over the camera’s cord. I was so em- barrassed. My whole face turned red,” ex- plained sophomore Jessica Efron. “We were all at Condes’s for dinner. As I was going to pay the check, I noticed my wallet was gone. Then I realized that it was sitting on my dresser at home. Luckily, a friend had enough money to pay for both of our dinners,” stated freshman Jay Potasnik. Chi 27
