Role reversal Girls ask guys out to the annual turnabout dance Crown Point High School ' s annual formal win¬ ter dance, the Turnabout, warmed up the spirits of our students just in time for the holiday season. Turnabout changes the accepted proce¬ dure in dating. It is the only formal dance of the year where the girl is expected to ask out her favorite guy, to pay for his ticket and for dinner afterwards, and to even drive if that is possible. The girls gathered up cour¬ age as 186 couples attended this year ' s dance. A disc jockey, Tom Fiegle, provided the music. They played a wide variety of music, rang¬ ing from upbeat pop songs to love ballads. The clear fa¬ vorite to most couples seemed to be the love songs as that is when most of the tables cleared. This year ' s couples spent their resting time by look¬ ing for ornaments with their names decorating the walls or by satisfying them¬ selves with the refresh¬ ments provided and served this year by the cheerleaders and their moms from Taft Junior High School. They also helped with tagging and sorting the coats and jackets of the students. Cou¬ ples wishing to capture the evening with a scenic pic¬ ture were treated this year with a quicker system of having it done. The crew from John Giola ' s Photogra¬ phers distributed time schedules to all couples wanting to have their pic¬ ture taken. This allowed stu¬ dents to spend more of the evening dancing and less of it waiting in line for their A PHOTOGRAPHER ' S ASSISTANT arranges sophomore Debbie Ruffing and her date, junior Jason Bordui, for their Turnabout picture.

After the dance, most couples looked forward to gorging themselves at one of the area ' s restaurants. Many couples doubled or even tripled both at the dance and at dinner later on. The neighboring town of Merrillville supplied many fo the restaurants chosen by students. The Bombay Bicy¬ cle Club, The New Moon, The Gathering, and Snak ' s were some of the more pop¬ ular night time spots. Turna¬ bout ' 85 allowed the girls of school to know what it is like for a guy to ask and take out that someone special.
