spite of all the holidays in February, NCHS was in all month. To make this a little bearable, February Follies were held. The Follies are an annual event held each year around Valentine's Day to give students a break from the usual weekly routine. The Follies in- cluded a run called the Cupid Classic, the Sweetheart Dance, a Bloodmobile, Vocal Valentines and carnation deliveries. The Cupid Classic, a run in which anyone could participate, started off the events. There were two divisions in the run: a three-mile race and a one-mile race. The run took place on the streets west of school. In the three-mile run, Jeff Lyle l10l took first place with a time of 16:58. In the one-mile race, Eric Hannel C101 came in first with a finishing time of 5:49. The winners received medallions, Road Runners sponsor Fred Walk said. Next in line was the Sweetheart Dance. The sophomore Sweetheart Court consisted of Rachel Collie, Kris Cook, Debbie Gaines, Wendy Wertz, Todd Bliss, Kurt I-Ioeferle, Chris Seifert and Darien Soldner. The king, Todd Block, and queen, Kathy Lin- neman, were crowned at the dance. Vocal Valentines are starting to become a tradition at NCHS. There were six songs sung including: Baby Face, Let Me Call You Sweetheart, Put Your Head on My Shoulder, Bosom Buddies and Together The choir raised S700 which went to the choir fund, accor- ding to Director Audrey Vallance. The best-seller, she said, seemed to be Let Me Call You Sweetheart. The Bloodmobile, another yearly activity, was held on Valentine's Day. Student Council, which sponsored the blood drive, had a goal of 125 pints which was exceeded. Two hundred and ten students gave blood, which went to the Red Cross Blood Center in Peoria and from there to hospitals. Flowers have always been a big part of Valentine's Day, and Council made sure they appeared here by sell- ing carnations. Approximately 350- 400 carnations were sold, according to Sponsor Ramona Sanders, who ex- plained at least S200 of the sales went to the heart fund. -Kristi Lutz Gina Quiggins One participant in the Cupid Classic was Craig Cermak llll. His predicted time was 18:30, while his finishing time was 17:37. Mr. Fred Walk, sponsor of the Road Runners Club, organized and participated in the Cupid Classic run which was held on Feb. 12. Two hundred and ten people gave blood to the Bloodmobile on February 14. Mike Snell- ing i12l said, f'Giving blood for the first time was a weird experience. February Follies 19
