 Ir was o memora- ble, wild, rocking nighr ond I was hon- ored ro be chosen King. Chris McIntosh Rising Temperatures 18 h naboui The announcement came Thursday, January 9. Every- one waited to hear who was on the Turnabout court. Members were John Burkholder, Bob Heitoff, Dave McAtee, Rick VonMaur, and King Chris McIntosh. Thus started the Turnabout festivities. The cafe was festively attired in red, white, and black crepe pa- per, and balloons. The theme of the dance, “Heat of the Knights, was written in crepe paper across the wall. Before the dance, dinner at pri- vate houses seemed the most popular activity. There were piz- zas, Hungry Hobo sandwiches, and chips and dips. There were also the more extravagant girls who took their dates to nice res- ■ taurants, such as The Dock, Har- olds on the Rock, and Jumers. The fashionable color of the evening for girls was black. There was black taffeta, silk, lace, and velvet. The guys' evening attire consisted of the traditional slacks and jackets. From nine to midnight couples danced to the music of Farenheit. Fast dancing music by groups such as Ratt, Prince, and Bon Jovi dominated the evening rather than slower paced songs. Junior Molly Otting said, Farenheit made my temperature rise. After the dance most people went to parties. Then as curfews came, some as late as 5 a.m., couples went home and ended the evening.
