Spending time witii someone special The colorful pink, gray, red and white decorations set the mood for the enjoy- able evening of dance, re- freshments, entertainment and fun. Also, helium bal- loons were arranged nicely around the dance floor and at the entrance area. On Saturday, February 13, the third annual Sweet- heart Ball, sponsored by the French Club, took place in the commons area from 8:30 p.m. until 11:30 p.m. Many couples danced the night away with music pro- vided by Doctor Feelgood. There was some good and bad music played, but you ' ll find that at any dance you go to, said senior Tara Fox.

But the mold was set and having started the ball rolling. Pub backed out and the second annual Ball was by the French and Latin clubs. It went off a little better than the first, because more people at- tended. This year ' s Ball was a great success, giving Wayne the tradition that Pub decided Wayne was lacking, by Rekaya Gibson SUEETMEARTS BALL
