Dances Bring Romances °n’ Gettin’ Crazy There were also other dances Dances were an important part of students’ lives. Everyone looked forward to getting down and getting crazy! In October, there was the Sa- die Hawkins Dance. Or as some people called it, the guys’ night out, because the girls asked the guys and, of course, the girls had to pay for the evening. Everyone got dressed up in their overalls, flannel shirts, and straw hats. And to top everyth- ing off and make it real fun, some people even had a corn cob pipe. When students went to Sadie Hawkins, almost anything could happen. Some wound up getting married at the hitching booth by an old back hills preacher who performed the marriage to the tee by giving the couple a mar- riage license and the girl, of course, got a ring. This was all performed in the commons. For that special night to remember, Ken Mills was there to take pic- tures of each couple. held for DHS students such as the Valentines Day Dance and victory dances after football and basketball games. Spectrum played a big part in these dances because they played for all of the victory dances, and, of course, Sadie Hawkins. Almost all of the kids who went to the games took time out to dance instead of going home or driving around the town. After the basketball team won the sectional, the students got to skip second hour on Monday for a dance to celebrate the victory. The dance was held in the gym and refreshments were served in the commons. The dance lasted for the entire second hour and the students and faculty enjoyed it. The dances of DHS were of very great importance to all, and the students wanted to make the nights ones they would never forget as their journey contin- ued.

The winter season was high- lighted by Christmas and the Winter Formal, held January 2. For this big dance, many stu- dents dressed up, went out to eat, and then went to the school to dance the night away and to thank the German Club for put- ting on an extra special Winter Formal. The dance featured a king and queen chosen from among couples in attendance. After ev- eryone voted, Mr. Vick an- nounced that Brad Dettmer and Beth Bush were the lucky win- ners. He then crowned them with a top hat for Brad and a “‘diamond”’ crown and a rose for Beth. And, of course, the next dance was theirs. 24 Winter Season Scenes Through Frosty Winter Window Fanes The dance was the conclusion of an exciting Christmas season. Even though the sun was out on Christmas Day to melt all of the snow, students still had a fun Christmas. Before Christmas vacation, the Student Council sponsored the Christmas toy drive so that the needy children around the area could receive toys on Christmas. Also before Christmas break, the band and choral depart- ments performed a special pro- gram to wish one and all a happy holiday. Rev. Al Black was also there to remind everyone of what Christmas really is. All in all, our journey through winter was busy and a blast.
