Spirit Event Anticipation! Excitement! Spirit! Those were the feelings felt by many Centennial students at the end of the summer for the upcoming 1981-82 school year. Summer was enjoyable, but stu- dents were ready to get into the spirit of school again. To help get the spirit going the Charger student council held their annual Spirit Event dance. The dance was held on August 28 from 8:00-11:00 in the school cafeteria. A Disc Jockey played tunes, and everyone joined in the fun. Students were dancing a vari- ety of dances from country-west- ern to punk rock. In the punk song Rock Lobster as the B-52’s sang the words Down, down, down ...” the dancers twisted down to the floor as far as they could go! The night was hot and steamy and the slow dances helped cool things down for awhile. Many students, though, took ad- vantage of the outdoor court- yard to cool off. Overall, the night went well and there were more tired feet than ever before. Enjoying a happy moment together dur ing a slow dance. Troy Daniels and Kathy Owens seem to be having a fun time at Spirit Event. A group of hot and tired dancers (Laura Punkay. Ron Shaw. Tom Woods. Michelle McNamara, and Karen Espeseth) take time out during the dance to get their picture taken. 10 Opening Section
