p antasy land Fairy tale setting lends romance to Turnabout As the couples entered the cafeteria for the annual Turn¬ about Dance, their minds probably wandered back quite a few years to the familiar childhood fairy tale, “Cinder¬ ella.” As everyone knows, in that famous Mother Goose tale, Cinderella was swept off her feet by a handsome prince at the ball. The Turnabout Dance is the one chance the girls have to choose who that handsome prince may be. The theme of the dance, “Crystal Ball,” was quite ap¬ propriate for this storybook evening. Cotton clouds hung from the ceiling of the cafete¬ ria and pink, lavender, and sil¬ ver helium balloons floated from the center of each table. Silver slippers representing Cinderella’s slipper, clouds, and stars were found around the room with couple’s names on them. Silhouetted scenes from “Cinderella” decorated the walls surrounding the dance floor. The backdrops provided by Mid-States pho¬ tographers coordinated well with the decorations. The dee jay, “Jukebox” provided the music. The cheerleaders were sponsors again as they have been in the past, but instead of the dance being held prior to the Christmas holidays, its date was moved to January 16. There were a few reasons for the change of date, but the most important one was that the students indicated that if the dance was held after Christmas break, they would have something to look for¬ ward to. Senior Kelly Robinson said, “Having the Turnabout Dance to look forward to when we returned from the holidays definitely brightened up those typical winter blahs that set in the first of January.” The date of the dance also had a large effect on the attendance. About 75 more couples at¬ tended than the previous year. Senior Charles Smith and his date junior Celenne Mar- giotta were named prince and princess of the dance. Theji were chosen by a random drawing of their ticket num¬ ber. They received Cinderella books and a monetary giffe which was presented to them by the cheerleading sponsors, Mrs. Rae Jean Zea and Mrs, Nancy Halfman. f f AFTER BEING NAMED prince and DANCING TO THE BEAT of “Old princess Celenne Margiotta and Time Rock and Roll” by Bob Segert, Charles Smith dance to the theme Kathy Fletcher and Jason Andrews song “Only in my Dreams” by REO enjoy the music provided by Jukebox.
