A New Sweetheart: an Old Tradition The tradition of Jack of Hearts took a slight turn in a new direction this year. There were only six candidates running for the title instead of the usual twelve as in years before. Did the high cost of living bring about this shortage of candidates? Certainly not! They were replaced by six young women who were given the oppor- tunity to possibly become a Valentine Sweetheart. When all the ballots were counted, it was announced that the Senior Class had chosen Tim Gulenchyn to be this year’s Jack of Hearts and Melanie Horn was to accompany him as the new Valentine Sweetheart. On Friday, February 12, many girls received a flower in their homeroom with a message attached to it saying something like “Thanks for asking me to the Jack of Hearts dance. Sue. I hope we have lots of fun ..What!? A girl asking a guy to a dance? Of course, it's all part of the old Jack of Hearts tradition that remains, yet unchanged. First off, the girls took their special valentines out for dinner, then brought them to the Cooper cafeteria for an evening of dancing to the sound of the Bel-Airs. Couples could be seen all around the dance floor in semi-formal dress, with fresh flowers next to their hearts and fresh smiles on their faces to show their approval of the new and old Jack of Hearts traditions. 20 — Jack of Hearts
