Although many people are involved in the annual 12B Christmas dance, no one is lost in the crowd. On that evening everyone is an individual. Adding their own personal touch to the excitement of 12B are seniors Cindy McClaskey and Alex Creger. Passing through the magic of 12B Amid the glow of candles . . . could be seen couples . . . smiling . . . talking . . . contemplating . . . as the reflections of their im- ages danced on the dark walls. The soft melodic music of Children seemed to invite the gowned and tuxed couples to the dance floor. Others enjoyed the refreshments that were available and mingled among their fellow classmates and teachers. We May Never Pass This Way Again was selected as the theme for 12B. The Christmas dance was held at the Hotel Fort Des Moines Saturday, December 22. Fifty-six senior girls hosted the dance. Each girl paid $15 to become a hostess and spent time on committees in putting the dance together. Heading up all organization of the dance were co- chairmen Carol Johnson and Theresa Kouri. Each hostess received two goblets woven together with a red satin ribbon. Colorfully displayed throughout the ballroom were the colors of burgundy and silver. 2 i INVOLVEMENT
