DAS Hosts Mauy Dauces After-game and other kinds of dances were enjoyed by many. The flashing lights and the exciting beat would roam through the halls and call everyone in to get down to the great music of various bands and sound systems. The fast pace of the music would go on and on, but some couples were glad to hear a slow song come so they could catch their breath for the next fast song. In November, there was the Sadie Haw- kins Dance, or as some call it, the guy’s night out, because the girls asked the guys and, of course, the girls had to pay for the evening. After the basketball teams won their sec- tionals, the students got to skip second hour for victory dances. The boys then won at Regional so we had a two hour dance with refreshments served in the commons. The Christmas Formal was enjoyed by many couples. It was sponsored by the Ger- man Club and the French Club sponsored a Valentines Dance in February. The dances of DHS were of very great importance to all, and the students wanted to make the nights the best ever.

The slow music seems to be just what Lisa Manista and Scott Thiel had in mind for danc- ing at the Christmas Formal. 24 ¢@ Dances

Some styles at DHS never change. For instance, blue jeans, sweat shirts, T-shirts and tennis shoes will probably always re- main. However, there were several differ- ent styles at DHS throughout the year. At the beginning of the year, it was al- most all the way “Preppie.”’ Shirts, sweat- ers, jackets, even socks with alligators on them, oxford shirts with the collars stand- ing up, polo shirts, and boat shoes were in, but as the year went by, “Prep” seemed to fade away a bit. “New Wave” or “Punk” was another new style of clothing. The short punk hair- cuts, geometric shaped jewelry and designs along with all the “different” clothing. Bright and bold colors, cut off sleeves, puff sleeved jackets, the low heel pumps, and the new style of tennis shoes: this new style of clothing seemed to change the pace a bit. The “Western” look was another style that appeared in the halls: the prairie skirts, ruffled western shirts, new or faded blue jeans, plaids, and, of course, cowboy boots. No one style at DHS over-ruled the halls. No matter what was worn, it was probably in style of one kind or another. Bib-front shirts were big in 1983. Mike Rees- man’s mouse from Advanced Psychology class seems interested in Mike's pleated and striped version. Shirts with various insignia were in style: alliga- tors, foxes, dragons, even bunnies. Here, Mitch Kruse wears his “Playboy” sweat shirt. Even shirts and ties were sometimes worn. In the business mood for his Accounting class is senior Marty Schalow. Styles © 23
