Dances, the Best of Memories A dance, one of the most important events of the year! It ' s expensive for all involved, but it ' s worth it. Of all the memories, the dances are the ones that stand out most. The girls in their dresses, the guys in their tuxes, having a good time. The 1975 Turnabout, sponsored by the Hilltopper, was a big success. The Howe dance band played for the Turn- about. Since 1945 this has been held as the traditional girl-ask-guy dance, replacing the outdated May dance which was held outside. The Brown and Gold was the first formal dance of the ' 75- ' 76 year at Howe. Everyone enjoyed themselves with the music and the company. The Sounds of Light Touch, chosen to play because of their popularity at the ju- nior prom, were the best band at a Howe dance in a long time. The dance will be remembered by many people as one of the best dances we have had. And then, for those who couldn ' t af- ford formal dances, there were the sock hops that yielded the fun without the high cost of a formal dance. Many people attended them and had a dynomite time. A. Student Council president Susan Ferrer and Hilltopper associate editor Glen Marquis plant the traditional kiss on Brown Boy Mark McClure and Golden Girl Laura Tuttle. The Brown and Gold has been held annually since 1940. B. Formal pictures are a dance tradition. Couples wait their turn at the 1975 Brown and Gold. C. Sock hops provide after-game fun. D. Mary Weatherwax and Richard White dance freely in their formal dress at the 1975 junior prom. E. Turnabout king and queen were Mike Taylor and Debbie Williamson, crowned by Hilltopper staffers Janice Wiggins and Phil Stalas. F. While others were trick-or-treating, Julie O ' Haver and Ann Hudson were bumping at the traditional after-game sock hop. G. Enjoying each other ' s company, Debbie Har- vey and Doug Peters take a break from dancing at the Turnabout. ! 10

Clubs Make Comeback Clubs made a comeback of sorts at Howe this year. The German Club, sponsored by Mr. Kindle, became the first club in recent years to win the homecoming float competition. A membership of sixty worked on vari- ous projects in order to send a student to Germany for the summer. Smaller clubs continued active for students of French and Spanish. The History Club centered its activities on the Bi- centennial. The quiz team, despite in- experience, continued a winning tradi- tion. The chess team challenged strong competition as always. Ebony Unlimited, with a larger membership, met informally with Mrs. Neal and Mrs. White throughout the year. 12
