H a-v-i-n -g a B -a-l-l During the Christmas Season Dashing through the snow. Snow? Wnat snow? The lack of snow upset quite a few students because a lack of snow meant that they would have some rocky skiing. A small handful of students and faculty showed their jolly spirit by dressing in the tradi- tional colors. The bah humbugs dressed in their casual 501 manner. That changed for many students at the beginning of Christmas vacation. Lace and satin won over the stonewashed blues at the Christmas Ball. Yes, the Christmas Ball put a little beat into many students ' vacation. Some complained that the beat became a dent — a big dent in the old savings account. I spent about $145 on the Christmas Ball, but it wasn ' t too much because it was fun, said Junior Pam Wright. I liked it. For once everyone looked nice because they were all dressed up instead of just wearing jeans, said Junior David Navarro. After the ball many found themselves doing Christmas related activities. I went shopping the week before Christmas, said Junior Kati Hansel. The procrastinators tended to put it off. Christmas Eve I went out and bought all my presents, said Senior Bruce Duffy. Still other students chose to do more unique things. I went to California to see the Rose Bowl and the Rose Parade where Arizona beat Michigan, said David Navarro. by Michelle Heun Chris Weddell and Dawn Ramer share a tender moment. lust what I ' ve always wanted!

ANTI-WINTER WEEK Nerd day for Sophomore Diane Medeiros is Ihe perfect excuse lo be late for class. Several students invaded the local Salvation Army or their parents ' closets to prepare for the dress-up day. Millie Sprague, Jeff Lerud, and Micheline Tobev, who represent Ms. Caldwell ' s first period Eriglish class, show off their entry in the door- decorating contest that ended Anti- Winter Week. The entry, which came complete with Beach Boys tunes, a palm tree, and a lighted sun, took the first place prize in the contest — a pizza party. A bomb threat, which turned out to be a false alarm, left Heidi Hammack, Kerstine Johnson, Shelly Gagnier, and Diane Vo in the cold for about 15 minutes. The evacuation was especially uncomfortable because many students who were participating in the Anti- Winter WeeK festivities were forced to stand in 20 degree weather wearing no more than shorts, Hawaiian shirts, and thongs. 24
