From Welk to Whip It Nervous — the only word that could describe Dad on the night of March 27, 1981, for this was the Father-Daughter dance. As Dad nervously awaited his date, he was more nervous than he was for his first date with Mom. He had purchased the flowers as well as the dress his daughter was wearing. But this night was different from any other night out with anybody else. The daughter was nervous, more nervous than he. Questions ran through her mind such as; “‘How do you dance with your father?” “What do you talk to your father about for the whole night?’’ The answer came as the dance began in the “Bishop Feehan Ball Room”. The cafeteria transformed into a dance floor took on a new appearance, like the girls’ transformation from “Lollipops to Roses”’. The girls all gathered to dance among themselves as their Fathers were left to talk among themselves. When a slow dance was played, the fathers hit the dance floor; but as the fast numbers started, they retreated to their seats. Even after the dance when they went out to eat, fathers sometimes ended up at one table and their daughters at another. There were wonderful moments, however, when Dad and Daughter really enjoyed each others’ company. Night out with Dad is a night that will be treasured for a lifetime.

Socializing Takes Over After the cafeteria had been turned into an elegant “dance hall’, nearly 200 couples arrived for that special night in their Freshman and Sophomore years, the Social. Girls in their gowns and flowers, boys with manners and three piece suits, experienced a night to remember: a night of shyness, laughter and dancing shared with special friends. As MacPherson Strutt began to play, the tension eased and the couples were less shy. The band played a wide variety of both slow and fast numbers to suit all tastes. Faculty members, too, got caught up in the music. When the line for the pictures had diminished, the band played the theme song ‘We've got Tonight’’. Taking a break from the crowded dance floor are Tina Perry, Allison Green, Katie The couples moved towards the dance floor and all feelings of apprehension had disappeared. After the Social, most couples went out to eat. Food choices ranged from Italian food at Papa Brillo’s to Polynesian food at the Mon Kou. An enjoyable dinner ended a memorable evening.
