 Kevin Donovan. Lance Hilton, and Cathy Stewart show off their cos- tumes in high spirits at this year's Halloween dance. CASUAL Suprise! Blair Boetticher and Lisa Carroll give a big grin at a dance held in the Rec. Center. The informal dances this year at- tracted a lot of attention from the students. With one held about every month or so, var- ious school organ- iza- Kim Harrington, dressed in her hillbilly garb, dances at this year’s Sadie Hawkins get together sponsored by S-Club. tions were kept pretty busy planning and decorating. Dillon bopped its way through the seasons with a wide assort- ment of music old as well as new. Long time favorites such as Homecoming and Hawaiian Night, in October, brought a few couch potatoes to life. Greaser Night, which was held in the first part of January, had interesting dance and limbo contests, for students to participate in. Another dance, Halloween, was a main attrac- tion with ghastly deco- rations and a lower entry fee for those will- ing to dress 16 jT Come As —' • — XW o o Come As You Are sr a . o o % O o

what makes it such a special occasion” said Marriage and Family teacher He- len Christianson. The ceremony was held at the Episcopal Church at 3 o’clock on a Friday afternoon, making it easy for many students to attend. A reception was scheduled for after- wards in the church hall. Trying to get the ceremony as much like a real one as they possibly could, they even ordered a real wedding cake for the reception. Nuts and mints were also served. There wasn’t any alcoholic champagne to be seen in sight, but a full punch bowl was positioned on a center table. This is also the first year that a double ceremony has taken place. “It was fun and interesting at- tending and being a part of the double ceremony” said Senior Marraige and Family student Julie Howard. This class holds the resposibility of teaching life skills to the future spouses of America. Although it is an elective, many seniors take this class to better their life skills. “I have learned so much from this class, I can’t even begin to say how much,” said Senior Sandy Rudy about the skills and experience she ob- tained through this elective. —o 4 °,- a o Mock Weddings 15 o i» oj,o ° ° V o -f Q frP C 4 W

E0RDIAL for the occasion. The new year was brought in with a dance in the old gym. Parents spent their time decorating, finding music, and setting up a refresh- ment table. Several city sponsors made it possible to have door prizes, and the Dilmart provided a television set in or- der to watch the “apple” fall in Times Square with the arrival of midnight. Al- though prices varied for admittance throughout the year, most of the time there was an opportunity to save about fifty cents if you went to the dance with another person. Excitement and enthu- siasm were shown by the students at- tending the informal dances this year. Rainbow formal was attended in the fall by about seventy couples. They danced until twelve to music presented by Cashmeire. The theme for the annu- al event was “The Time of Our Lives” and the Rainbow Beau candidates were senior Blair Boetticher, junior Lance Hilton, and sophmore Jim Wil- liams. The winner, Lance, was award- ed a silver top hat and silver roses were given to each candidate and his escort. What was the over all impression? Chandi Coad stated, “I thought it all came out pretty well; but I wish the band would’ve been better.” Out of the many informal dances held during the year, only a few had the privilege of having a live band. Hallow- een, for example, brought in quite a few people to rock to the beat of The Midnight Hour. People just seem to get into a good live band more enthusiasti- cally than they do when the music is pre-taped. Why? Well, when asked her opinion, Cindy Puyear said, “Definitly live music! They’re there, and you’re there. It’s just like the music is being sung to you, it goes out to you.” Presiding over a music system, Tom Dool- ing gets ready for the big night ahead.
