WHITE CHRISTMAS The dream of a White Christmas became a reality on December 13, 1980, when the Service League held their annual holiday dance featuring the band Tight Fit. The gym was beautifully decorated with green, red, and white streamers, and a colorful Christmas tree Before the dance, most of the girls treated their escorts to either a home-cooked meal or a restaurant dinner. The dance started at 8PM, and all of the couples arrived by 9:15PM. After all the couples had arrived, the Service League officers presented poinsettias to their advisor Mrs. Yukna and the other chaperones to thank them for their help in making the night a success. This year the league members began a new tradition by selecting a noliday dance King. Frank Naples was chosen as tne first King when his name was randomly drawn from a box containing the names of all the male guests. The dance ended at midnight, but the memories of the enjoyable night remain. While the band plays White Christmas, the theme of the dance, Allison Vigra and her date enjoy a dance.
