Annual Dance Yearbook Dance Raises Spirits of Drooping Fans The night of October 25, 1968 brought not only the heartbreaking loss of the final game of the season between our Tigers and the LeSueur Giants but also the Annual Dance, sponsored by this year's TIGERIAN staff. They drooping spirits of the Tiger fans rose as they happily reminisced past events of the year gone-by, paging slowly through their new, memory filled annuals. Many experienced unexpected sur- prise as they saw for the first time candid pictures of unknowing subjects. The music from records supplied by the students themselves, lent itself to dancing. Added to the busy chatter of students, alumni, and teachers pres- ent, they passed their memory books to one another for notes and autographs. Many students will agree that without an annual, numerous high school memories would be lost. Newly acquired annuals have students end the returning occupied for the night during the signing period, alumni exchanging notes and autographs. Everyone is kept 13

Christmas Ball Christmas Tree Reigns Over Activity at Ball The annual Christmas Ball, second only to the Prom in social significance, was held on December 14, 1968. This dance was sponsored by the A team cheerleading squad. The profits from th's event are used to purchase new outfits and pom poms for the cheerleaders. The girls worked hard and long, transforming the old elementary gym into a decorated wonderland of fantasy. Outstanding was the real Christmas tree, placed in the center for all to enjoy. Many couples danced to the sound of the Clockwork Orange, who supplied the entertainment for the evening. Some chose to sit around the bleachers and visit. The busy chatter combined with the shuffling of dancing feet to provide a background that lulled the spectators. Dancers were donned in splendor and glamour for this elegant occasion. After the monotony of school work, this gala affair provided something to look forward to in the bleak winter months.
