Holiday Traditions Uplieid by ASU As always, drawing the year to a close was a memorable experience at Dana Hills. This final school week of 1988 was one of traditional effervescence. Lunchtime activities happened all week long and included such favorite Dana Hills pastimes as the Ski Race and the Christmas Lip Synch. Other activities dispersed throughout the week included What would you do for a Klondike Bar? in which students submitted themselves to all sorts of public humiliation ■ things that a kid would do only for some ice cream. One male participant did a cheer for the whole school to watch, and another stood on a table and sang The Star Spangled Banner ■ an act that received a standing ovation. Another lunchtime activity found students stuffing balloons Into the pajamas of classmates. The arrival of Friday was the zenith of the week as the gym filled with an excited lip synch audience. The elated sophomores took a first place standing, followed by the seniors, juniors, and freshmen. Gifts were exchanged all day long, and candy was consumed in enormous amounts. A feeling of genuine relief came by the end of the day as teachers and students departed to celebrate the holidays in comparative peace, -v.y.

Despite the fact that the disc jocltey l ept bumping into the turntable, the 1989 Winter Formal was a raging success. The doors to the Irvine Marriot were opened at 8:00 P.M. to the 624 guests of the soid-out event. The mood was perfect ■ romanticism, along with excitement and friendly companionship. Modes of transportation varied greatly, from stretch limousines to BMW ' s to a practically antediluvian Suburban taken by Drew Brislen, Jennifer Sparks, and Company. Couples danced to a gamut of tunes which pleased all of the people at least some of the time. Drinks were flowing all night long, and unlimited desserts were available for those whose hunger was aroused by hours of dancing. As the midnight hour approached, the ballroom began to clear, yet that by no means signified the end of the night ' s activities. The end of the Winter Formal meant the beginning of the rest of the night. Students departed, off to get the best use of their limousines as possible and going to parties, proving that they all were Forever Young. v.y.
