Senior Laura Steward and her escort. Curt Schultz, take time out from dancing to enjoy some punch. 12B Formal held in the ' spring ' ? One of the more elegant dances of the year was the 12-B Dance. Not many people realize what the term 12-B means. The 12 stands for the twelfth grade and the B repre- sents the second semester. This year ' s theme was Love Me Tomorrow, by the vocal group Chi- cago. The dance was held Dec. 29 from 8 to 11 p.m. at the Botanical Cen- ter. The colors for the dance were dif- ferent shades of blue. The dance was produced by 40 senior hostesses. Each hostess pur- chased two sets of tickets, one for her- self and escort; the other was sold to another couple. The girls were also required to organize the dance. The traditional wine goblets were presented to the hostesses and their escorts toward the end of the dance. The dance was sponsored by Mrs. Cwenn Copple, Spanish teacher. Mrs. Copple later said, The dance ran very smoothly and everybody was well behaved. Senior Marilyn Nair headed the organization of the dance, and said, The dance took a lot of planning and it got hectic at times, but I really enjoyed helping with the dance. The band Defiance provided the music for the danee. Upon arrival at the dance, the stu- dents who attended noticed quite a change from the outside to the inside. Since everyone was used to the cold weather, bare trees and a brown atmosphere, coming into the Botanical Center was quite a pleasure. Every- thing was green and in bloom. It made those attending feel that the center was a little bit like spring. The pictures were taken by Mr. John Lethcoe, photography instructor. A waterfall was in the background. If you were a late arrival at the dance, you might have found the refresh- ments to be gone, which was a good indication of how good they were. But if you were one of the lucky ones, you could have enjoyed some cake, punch and candies. The cake and punch were served by the chaperones. Door prizes were also given. The prizes for the girls were gold necklaces and boys ' prizes were LCD (digital) pens. If a girl who attended wanted a sou- venir from the dance, she could take home a sign decoration that had the names of her and her escort on it. 16 12B FORMAL

Full-time students work part-time With the increasing cost of entertainment, food, and gasoline, many students had tried or were trying to get part-time jobs after school and on weekends. Finding a good job was not easy and a lot of people couldn ' t get jobs at all. There were many reasons that it was great to have a job. Jobs made people more independent from their parents. Students didn ' t have to bug their moms and dads for money to go out or to put gas in the car. Also, it didn ' t take as long to accumulate the funds to buy different things students wanted. On the other hand, jobs interfered with things students like to do. For instance, having a job was not a good idea during sports seasons because athletes couldn ' t always get time off for practi- ces and games. Often, students had to quit that particular sport. Also, with a job, students didn ' t always have Friday and Saturday nights off. When their friends were out having a good time, there were those students with jobs working until two in the morning. But over all, most people still liked their jobs becasue when they did get to go out, they had plenty of money and had a great time. Junior Jenny Whipple, who worked at Answer Iowa, liked her job because it gave her a lot of extra spending money. Jenny Said, Having a job gives teenagers good training and experience for future jobs. Prices of various things continued to rise, and as the year wore on, more and more students were trying to find part-time employment. It also became more important for students to be able to manage money wisely without wasting much, as dollars became more tough to come by.
