SHARING SPECIAL NIGHTS “Dim the lights” tonight and let’s get down and boogie! There would not be many people ‘‘cold as ice’”’ dancing to the many bands which vibrated through the cafeteria on Saturday nights. The annual Father- Daughter dance was no exception. On April 27 and 28, girls and their dads gathered in the cafeteria to jockey for space on the dance floor while twisting, turning, and swaying to the music. “It's easy dad! Just follow me. One, two, three, kick, side, step, turn, and repeat!’’ Laughter and merriment filled the air as daughters tried to teach their dads the latest disco steps. Spring-like fever permeated the room; bouquets adorned the tables as corsages blossomed on dresses, wrists, and in hair. Excitement mounted to the moment when the queen of the evening was crowned. On Friday night, Junior Nancy Nerney led the grand march as queen, while Senior Topping the evening for Nancy Nerney and her dad was Nancy's selection as queen of Friday night’s Father-Daughter Dance. Susan Desjardens received the honor on Saturday. “Hand me up that streamer and I'll attach it to the ceiling.” In one afternoon, two weeks later, freshmen and sophomores changed the school cafeteria into a room of light and color for their evening, the Freshman-Sophomore Social. Couples at the semi-formal event held March tenth danced the night away to t he music of ‘‘Breezing,”’ featuring Mr. Dillon, Band Director. Ecstatic teenagers were not the only ones on the dance floor, though. When the band struck up the beat of “The Hustle,’ Sister Agnes and Sister Helene put on their dancing shoes and showed everyone a few new steps. The theme, ‘Just the way You Are,” a current Billy Joel hit, set the mood. Each person realized throughout the celebration of the evening that they were forming their own unique individuality, their own flair, just the way they are. Dads and daughters ‘‘hop to it,” Mr. Ciallela, Denise and Marlene P opeo, Mr. Popeo, and Kelly Ahern ‘‘get a kick”’ out of the Bunny Hop at the Father-Daughter Dance.
