N X-1 'RB Rings dazzle eyes as evening progresses Falling streamers, plastered faces, and paint- splattered clothes seemed to be just a few of the more minor obstacles Juniors faced as they prepared for their Ring Dance. Money-making proiects, which covered two and one half years and included such events as stews and stationery sales, enabled the class to go Nall out on this special event. Long term proiects, such as picking a band, painting the murals, and constructing the ring figure started in January. One week before the night of March 24, Juniors and their masses of equipment moved into the gymnasium. Suddenly the gymnasium came alive. In every corner something different appeared. Headaches came and went as Juniors tackled problems such as moving broken bleachers, hanging fifteen foot murals, rehanging fallen streamers, arranging light systems with borrowed black lights, fixing a leaking water- fall, and designing new table decorations. A new rule forbidding work during school hours caused sleepless nights and unfinished homework to befall the class of '74. The cry 'll want this iob done by 8:00 or I'm locking up and we're going home! resounded through the gym as Mr. Bailey and Mrs. Blaszak, the class sponsors, pushed the weary Juniors to meet their deadlines on time and without delays. I8 Ring Dance The day of March 24 finally arrived. Early in the day, Juniors made last minute preparations, picked up flowers, and dressed for the occasion. At seven o'clock, Juniors arrived in all their splendor. Excited voices subsided as the couples filed into the darkened gym. After the exchange of rings in the ring figure, Juniors settled down to enioy the refreshments, dance to the music provided by Chess , and converse with one another. Realizing their great achievement as a class by creating such a memorable evening, couples moved on to late-night parties and dinner dates. Thus the class of '74 looked back with mixed feelings of accomplishment, happiness, and sadness at the results of their efforts. hx., 'tn' 'Mui l I I

20 SCA SCA sees changes With the lighting of a candle and recital of an oath, the new officers of the SCA began their year long tasks. Help from the various class representatives enabled the officers to hold bake sales and conduct other business over the summer. A few officers attended a summer workshop from which the ideas of semester representatives, Stomp'em Top'em day, and Buy a drink day evolved. Freshman orienta- tion and the painting of the phone booth took place during August. A debt that had haunted the SCA was paid off with the help of money collected from the bookstore and from Halloween candy sales. The SCA also spon- sored the Homecoming events. The SCA work- ed with and through the student body for the mutual interest of both. . . 1' V Ts . u IL-.gl -' fe, A. 515911, 1. .: 1- Q . -1. . ,,,,,, 2 3 1.
