Dance Raises Money for Heart Fund 1969 SWEETHEART COUPLE NANCY CHUBB AND DOUG NELSON offer congratulations to King Snookye Brooks and Queen Carolyn McAdoo. Stellae Service Club held its sixth annual Sweetheart Dance on Saturday, February 14, in the Yorktown High School Cafeteria. During the week preceeding the dance, the homerooms elected a sweetheart couple to represent each class. Joann Hardwick and Jeff Whiting were the choice of the sophomore class, while Vicki Walker and Mike Murray represented the juniors. The class of 1970 elected Carolyn McAdoo and Snookye Brooks to collect donations from the seniors. The three couples, with the help of friends, worked hard all week collecting money from the student body to donate to the Heart Fund. The competition between the classes built up throughout the week, so that by Friday the collectors were mak- ing desperate demands for money. The juniors gave the seniors a big eallenge with their abudance of spirit, but the seniors pulled through with a slight lead. A total collection of $1000.25 was presented to a repre- sentative from the Heart Fund at the dance on Satur- day night. Attendants of the dance enjoyed music pro- vided by Fatback and Peace. SENIORS HOLLY I1ASELTINE AND PHIL LORD rock around the clock at the annual Stellae Sweetheart Dance. 25
