Hot nights, Fishbowls, ' ? Helium Balloons, and Sore Feet Midwinter Si tudent council really out did themselves ithis year. The Midwin- ter Semi-formal on January 17 From 9 till 1 stu- dents danced beneath ribbons and balloons teal, pearl, and black, streaming from the high ceiling of the Greek Orthodox Church ' s Great Hall. The nigh t itself was sort of an anti-climax when compared to the weeks of hard work out in by the student council mem- bers. It was so hard, but it turned out to be so much fun, said senior Karen Chance. The evning began with the guy picking up the girl. The tra- dition of taking pictures in ev- ery pose imaginable was car- ried out laboriously but none- theless dutifully. As senior Melisa Kuller said, ' You would think my mother would know by now how to work her cam- era without fumbling by now. Dinner for a great deal of people was one of the nicest parts of the evening. Reserva- tions were made everywhere from the nicest and most ex- pensive restaurants in town to mothers kitchen. Fixing the dinner at home saved me $40.00 and I spent that on something more important than fo od, said an anony- mous junior. People began to arrive at the dance around 9:30. The serv- ers arrived at 8:50 to help set up the table decorations and put out the refreshments. thought it was a good experi- ence, said freshman Ray f owalewski. The flshbowl at the refreshment table certainly was an interesting addition to the decor of the hall, it served as a topic of conversation among many students. The Pete Best Band was very popular. By playing both pre- pared and requested songs, they provided a good variety of tunes to keep the couples in- terested and dancing. I danced so hard and so long 1 could hardly get up in the morning! said junior Lori Pu- laski. A few students provided a source of comic relief and helped create a more carefree atmosphere by singing along uath the group. The evening ended too soon and the students drifted slowly out of the building and into the parking lot. It pro ed to be a very cold night but no one seemed to mind. All in all the night was a great success and one to be long remembered. — Doug Hildebrecht DAMCIMG THE MIGHT AWAY senior ' MAY I HAVE THIS DAPiCE? asks se- Hein Cregten juniors Josh Hender- nior RoPi ' Paquette to senior Jenny son, Ann Burgess, and Debbie Bartley Adams while senior Dave Aker looks show their enthusiasm for the music, on quizically.

Through Thick And Through Thin Friendships Friends are a big part of everyone ' s life. Without them life would be quite bor- ing. Because so much in life depends on how well one can get along with other people, friends are a cru- cial part of growing up. The more one learns about making friends now the easier life will be later on. Friends are people who are there when you need them. Tm not sure where I would be right now if my friends were not there to listen to me, said ju- nior Kristin Lambright. It is said that your high school years are the best years of your life and without friends to share those special times, I ' m not sure that would be true. said junior Kim Kinney. What would Friday night be without friends? From going to the basketball game to the Fri- day bash, friends stay togeth- er. I love to go to the mall with my friends when I ' m bored, said senior Anne Weber ad- ding, Friends should be there through the exciting times and the unexciting ones too! It is important to remember that one will gain many more friends in the future but the people one knows now share only memories high school classmates can relate to. My friends and 1 share some of the same dreams and goals but we have to keep it in perspective, some of us will go to different colleges and we will make new friends. Thats life! said junior Bill Stohler. This important lesson in life is exemplified by senior Tracy Serwatka, Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold. In a few concise words a friend is someone to share the good and bad times of your life. — Mary Florkowski 28 Student Life
