Many of the dances were held after football and basket- ball games with the plans of celebrat- ing a victory. Although it didn’t always work out that way, the Barons still knew what to do to get the spirit level back up where it belonged. The girls got their chance to ask the guys out when November rolled around and it came time for the tradi- tional Sadie Hawkins dance. Students enjoyed themselves as they dressed like farmers, drank apple cider, “got hitched,” smiled for their pictures, and danced together during the slow songs. The next couples’ dance was the Christmas Formal. Sponsored by the German Club, this dance was a defi- nite success. With the decorations neatly designed, the food delicious, — and the band “Nos Mo King” chosen with a lot of thought, all couples who attended seemed to have an enjoy- able evening.

Fun At Its Best Junior Achievement was sponsored by Auburn Gear, Cooper, Dana, and | Magnavox. These companies helped students produce things such as clocks, mugs, and thermometers. Each group also stamped matches for dif- ferent businesses. The year ended with a big awards banquet held in Fort Wayne’s new Grand Wayne Center. Both of these organizations were of great value as they allowed students to experience and slowly enter the real world.
