Dance draws crowd. The next night, possibly a record crowd was present at the dance. The sound system and the disc iockey from K-98 provided good music and a crowded dance floor.

Carnival Exciting lt was really good because there were so many things to do. There were a lot ot new booths that weren't here last year, which was really cool, commented sophomore Phyl- lis Slabey concerning the 10th annual Crockett Carnival. One attraction was confetti eggs which made revenge sweet on this chilly but exciting evening. A kiddie land was constructed by the Texans for the younger children, with a duck booth and a toy booth. The more competitive booths con- sisted of dart throwing, egg tossing and basketball shooting. A variety show was hosted in the cafeteria made up of amateur bands among Crockett students. A haunted house, run by the Texans, and constructed in tunnels underneath the school had the longest waiting lines. Also popu- lar was the Marriage and 'Divorce booth, where Reverend Will Dye initiated the ceremonies. Several students who began sing- ing in high squeaky voices after inhaling helium from balloons added to the hilarity, tending in The Texans and Band sponsored the carnival with the aid of their spon- sors Mr. Max Fisher and Ms. Paula Crider.
