. SENIOR AUCTION 22 Class of 1986 sells itself Senior slave drive draws festive crowd “Going once, going twice... sold to the sophomore in the third row!’’ Phrases like this were heard loud and clear in the Little Theater December 17-19. For a mere 25 cents, spec- tators saw seniors sold one by one to the eager crowd. Underclassmen bid and bought between 60 and 80 seniors and staff members whom they could command for an entire lunch hour on December 20. Staff members such as Mrs. Janet Hales, Mr. Richard Lutey, and Mr. Pete McCasland, who took part in the auction, did so on a voluntary basis. The money from the Senior Bob Warner took pleasure in auc- tioning off science teachers Mr. Richard Lutey and Mr. Pete Mc- Casland who sold for $32. Auction, which amounted to over $400, went to finance the senior banquet, at Arthur’s Restaurant in May. Highest bids of the auction went for science teachers Mr. Lutey and Mr. McCasland, sold as a pair for $32, and Terri Ol- inghouse, who sold for $21. Senior Class President Jen- nie Thomas said, ‘‘We thought it would generate a lot of school spirit and give every one a chance to get involved. It was a big release from all the tests just before Christmas break.”’ Seniors received unmerciful treatment from underclassman owners. They had to perform a Mike Ryan, unsatisfied with bids, urges the crowd to go higher. Oscar Clubb scans the theater for hands, as Bob Warner sings out ... twice, ...

Being an underclassmen and having power over a senior was a thrill for most. Freshman Mary Cappelletti bought Bart Arbaugh and really enjoyed it. “Having power over a senior is GREAT,” said Mary. “‘It’s not very often the opportunity comes around, so once | got the chance, | thought: Go For It!”’

DANCES Dressed up and ready togo Avoiding certain halls to stay away from “ugly ducklings’”’ is the thing that separated the Sadie Hawkins dance from all other dances for Bob Warren. He tried, he said, to escape girls who were looking for dates to the dance. The Winter Dance and the Sadie Hawkins Dance differed from the other dances at Memorial because they were for couples who enjoyed one another’s company enough NOT to look for escapes. The Winter Dance, ‘‘Mistletoe Memories,’’ gave students a chance to get dressed up and dance the night away. The Sadie Hawkins Dance, ‘‘Barn- yard Bash,” gave girls the op- portunity to ask their favorite Jennifer Sears, Tony Reimer, and Jeanette Sears take a break from “‘three-some dancing” to pose for a picture. Jeff Young and his date Lori Howard slow dance to The System. The System brought along a light show and fog for special effect. guy to a dance. Pictures of the couples were taken at both dances. The backdrop for ‘‘Mistletoe Memories”’ was a park bench, a tree, and plenty of snow. A barn filled with hay was the perfect picture backdrop for “Barnyard Bash.” National Honor Society spent four hours after school the night before the December 14 dance transforming Memorial’s cafeteria into a winter wonderland. Decorations in- cluded decorated Christmas trees; red, silver, and white streamers; a fireplace; poinset- tias; and plenty of holly and mistletoe. The tables were decorated with mirrors, candles, holly, and angel’s hair. Beth Neidhamer, Rich Groff, Tracy Smith, and Pat Hess, clad in their hillbilly attire, express their excite- ment for the photographer. National Honor Society president Doug Johnston said, “The dance was a big success because of the hard work of National Honor Society members. Everything went smoothly and everyone had a good time.”’ Pep Club decorated the dance floor with hay, a split rail fence, and pictures of barnyard animals for the perfect barn- yard scene. The tables were decorated with vases and balloons. The wedding ceremony became authentic with rings and marriage cer- tificates given to the couples. After the ceremony, couples hung a heart with their names written on it on the wall. Deciding on which packet of pic- tures to purchase are Anna Ryden, Maria Johansson, and their dates.
