Step The Night Away Shaking it up has always been a favorite past time of the high school crowd, and spring dances let everyone shake it up in spring's mood of awakening. Between history essays and math quizzes there were week- ends and dances. So couples could dip, slip, and side-step with sidewinders or ties on, at stomps or formal dances. Flowers, hearts, and ro- mance traditionally follow one of the most beautiful and heart- warming dances of the year. Sweethearts was girls' choice as always (half the dances this year were), and was held Febru- ary 12th as a semi-formal dance. Cupid and valentine are what make up Valentines Day and that's what lent sweet- hearts its magnetic charm. All during Spirit Week the ru- mors began wandering: what's a Morp dance? I thought it was the planet Mork came from; I don’t know. Will everyone be wearing their clothes back- wards? What is it? Well, anyone who was willing to shell out the $2.25 per couple or use their 40 points from their Spirit Week card as a ticket found out. It was the opposite of the prom (Morp is prom spelled back- wards), and with a theme like “Take Off it proved to be the wildest dance of the year. The craziness of the Morp dance started a whole new traditions in the line of dances and kept everyone shaken up in it’s ca- sual atmosphere. February 6. the Sweethearts Ball took place. There was dancing, picture tak ing, and refreshments. Endless Love” was the theme. Before Christmas, during fifth and sixth periods, students were allowed to choose between a dance and a movie. 22 • Dances
