For the second consecutive year, the Inklings staff sponsored CPHS’ annual Christmas Turnabout Dance. The chosen date for the dance was Saturday, Decem¬ ber 10 from 8 to 11 p.m. in the school caf¬ eteria where 175 couples attended. This year co-chairpersons Barb Toman and Meg Golden were in charge of plan¬ ning the dance. The first task of the co-chairpersons was to choose a theme for the dance and to select a band. “Shimmering Starlight” was chosen and “Locust” from Lowell was the band selected for the evening. The choosing of the queens was per¬ formed in the same way as it was intro¬ duced last year. As each girl arrived, she put her name on the back of her ticket and dropped it in the correct box for her grade level. Co-editors of the Inklings, Dee Michaelis and Lisa Kroner, drew the tick¬ ets from the boxes and awarded the queens with scepters. The Turnabout queens were Senior Jan Madajczyk, Jun¬ ior Sue Fischer, Sophomore Alane Hor¬ ner, and Freshman Nancy McCoy along with their escorts. Senior Tom Thompson, Junior Dan Galich, Junior Dave McEvilly, and Sophomore Scott Kracht, respectively. For the royal couples, espe¬ cially, the dance will remain a shimmering memory.
