A lvlix of Top Hats and Candy Canes I I want a recount, joked Tur- nabout king nominee Jason Gibeault, '86. Don Holm, '88, and Jeff Shoup, '87, probably agree as Matt Crane, '85, reigned as the 'sharpest dressed man' over Turnabout. The funniest part was when Billy Sitz accidentally knocked down the big top hat over the dance floor while dancing. He had to put it back up in front of everybody, laughed Shelly Long- iviueller, '85. Decked out with Christmas lights and snowflakes hanging from the ceiling, mini-top hats served as centerpieces with candy canes protruding temptingly from them you could say the cafeteria looked better than usual. The DJ put on a really nice light show, remarked Cris Rabine, '87. We went after the girls basketball game so we ate after the dance at my date's girltriend's house. But what is the best part about formal dances? lt's a good excuse to stay out later than usual, laughed Shelly Lininger, '87. We had a good time eating at the Oakes. They have a huge grill to cook on but there were really too many people there cooking. Others decided to keep the evening within their budget. Julie Waterman, '86, was one of these. We ate pizza over at Dona Loweth's so it wasn't that expen- sive, she explained. All in all the dance was termed a suc- cess by Holms and has proved to be a valuable memory. - Amy Myhre 26 X Turriabout This year's Turnabout court was tleft to rlghti Don Holmes, '88, Jett Shoup, '87, Jason Gibeault, '86, and King Matt Crane, '85. tphoto by Jim McBrldel Gentleman Jett DeCoster '88, and Matt Speak '88, put their manners to use, getting punch for their dates at the refreshment table. iPhoto by Jim McBridel Leading the lirst slow dance with his date is King Matt Crane, '85, and Cathy Howland, '88. iPhoto by Jim McBridel ,usmq 5 Crazy about her sharp dressed man, Martha Tor- res '87 shows oll her date, George QMarkj Hen- niger. iPhoto by Jirn McBrideJ

Hey, l've seen this guy before? Molly Hartman '86 invited Steve Shark Hunter '84 to Sweethearts for one last dance. iPhoto by Chip Cavendishl ,am A Night in Heartbeat City f you wanted to dance and romance in February, then you made the Sweethearts Dance a priority. Many students did want this and that is what made the dance such a success. The profit was well over 35700, a S200 in- crease from previous years. The theme was Heartbeat City and the dance sky-rocketed from 9:00-11:30 in the hard rock cafe. Everything was decorated red, pink and white. The band Metro was great, said Junior Jill Warren, There were lots of people and that's what made it so much fun. It was the best dance l've ever been to, said Scott Lauth '86, My date made the dance a lot of fun. he added. The candidates for the 1985 Sweethearts Dance were Nicole Fed- dersen, '85, Julie Bradley '86, Shelley Lininger '87 and Laura Griffin '88. At 10:00 the band stopped playing and everyone became quiet. The special mo- ment had finally arrived. Feddersen was announced the Queen of the dance. Shortly after the winner was announced Dr. Sundblad sang Here she is, Miss America over the microphone. That is something that will never be forgotten. I was surprised and didn't know what to do when I found out I had won, Fed- derson said. lt was a lot of fun, Lisa McNamara Suzanne McBride '85 flashes a devilish smile while Caught in a tender moment, Kris Killian '85 dances dancing with John Albright '85, iPhoto by Chip with her date from West.
