Teens Stomp Hillbilly Style This year’s foreign exchange student, Clelia Volponi, (shown at center), is experiencing her first girl-ask-boy dance. At the Sadie Hawkins Hillbilly Hop everyone was whoopin’ and hollerin’ it up” to the music of the Appollos. Casually dressed couples stomped in a backwoods atmosphere made realistic by the scenery of the mountain dweller and the newly mown hay. When a hankerin’ ” for refreshments came, possum stew and other vittles were offered; but most of the dancers agreed on doughnuts and pop. Couples com¬ peting for king and queen presented themselves be¬ fore the judges. Zoe-Vonna Palmrose added to the mood by giving a humorous interp. Busy selling souvenirs at the Hillbilly Hop are (L. to R.) Betty Chrtis and Cathy Bjork. Newly crowned King and Queen, Bill Bailey and Mary Jane Wukich, of the Sadie Hawkin s Dance, seem unconcerned over their new royal status. 29

Varied Events Attract Many Fullback Bill Paschall plows into the sturdy Central line. Thirteen proved a lucky number for the sophomores this year, who won the Homecoming trophy, but an unlucky number for the Fishermen who lost to the Central Catholic Rams at the Astoria High School ' s 13th annual Homecoming game. The reaction of the entire student body was expressed by a freshman who said, Even though we lost 14-0 and my feet were so cold that they were hot, I would not have missed it for anything. From the class meetings on Monday to the final dance for both students and alumni Saturday night, A.H.S.’ers outdid themselves in generating school spirit. Undaunted by the premature burning of the bonfire, the Fishermen erected and guarded another until the enthusiastic stu¬ dents attended the rally Thursday night. Twinkling stars carried out the theme, Starlight at the Homecoming dance, where Queen Lorraine Johansen and her princesses reigned. CLIMAXING THIS YEAR ' S HOMECOMING, ALUMNI AND STUDENTS ENJOY DANCING.

First Frosli Dance, Success A cascade of flowers, colorful leis, and graceful hula girls set the scene of this year’s Frosh Frolic. Working after school to decorate the cafeteria, the freshmen created their own Polynesian Paradise.” In front of a backdrop of fish nets and baskets of flow¬ ers, souvenirs were sold to the guests. Even Hawaiians could not produce pineapples as huge and luscious looking as the ones that graced the gym that night. In keeping with the theme, a hula dance was per¬ formed for the entertainment of the guests. Although the attendance was comparatively small, those who came enjoyed an informal evening of danc¬ ing. A young hula dancer delights those who attend the Frosh Frolic. Couples wait to buy their leis, a souvenir of the Frosh Frolic, from Kathy Wheeler.
