mixm Bfltseisev Seniors celebrate, dance night away “Celebration time, come on! There’s a party going on right here. Let’s cele¬ brate! ...” These words from the song “Celebra¬ tion” by Kool and The Gang captured the mood of senior banquet as over 200 sen¬ iors gathered for one last time before graduation. The evening began with dinner, but dishes were quickly cleared away as eager seniors lined the dance floor and crowded doorways in anticipation of the dancing that was to follow. Before the music began, Mr. Jay Jones, vice-principal, spoke about the personality and outstanding characters of the class. He commented on favorite couples, curious events, and the year in general. Seniors joined in the fun, applauded, and pointed-out the victims of Mr. Jones’ puns and remarks. Afterwards the band Starbound got started, and for the rest of the night sen¬ iors jammed the dance floor. They danced to a wide range of songs from the popular “Whip It” by Devo to a slower “Three Times A Lady” by the Commo¬ dores. During an intermission in the dancing, senior gag awards were presented.
