Caroline Hiatt and Kyra Jones take a break from dancing with their dates Todd Mackey and John Cargilc to flash their evet-pieseni smiles for the camera. Waffs Barden, who transfered to Lee High second semester, attends his last Episcopal dance, but seems to have lost his date Bryn Oulton. Winter Formal Winter Formal is traditionally known as a dance sponsored by the NJROTC unit. This year, it was quite evidently a military occasion. Upon entering the Dining Hall on January 23 at eight o'clock, attention was first drawn to the giant American flag on the wall. Slowly, everyone moved inside and began to mingle and dance. As with any formal event, the first thing people did was find their friends and compliment each other on their looks, dresses, and or tuxes. However, if the friend happened to be a cadet, he was not in a tux like everyone else. For the first time, all male members of the NJROTC unit were required to attend in dress uniform. Prior to the dance, a costly controversy had formed concerning this new rule. The result in the end was the loss of Company Commander Wally Harrell and Officer Eric Koehler for the unit. Platoon Commander Thomas Latham summed the occasion up by saying It was a success, but costly to the unit as a whole due to the loss of the two officers. Despite the debate, the rule remained as all male cadets and officers arrived in full uniform. Well, almost all. Freshmen Chad Ogden and Spencer Edwards showed up in civilian clothes. As with any military rule, this one was strictly upheld as Chad and Spencer were kindly asked to leave the dance. As the night rolled on, couples lined up to get their picture taken. Once again, the military presence was felt due to the American flag used in the backround. While the picture line slowly got smaller, the dance floor gradually got more and more crowded. Students danced to the music of The Difference. However, this was no ordinary band. It was made up of one EHS alumnus, Brian Sleeth, and three EHS seniors, Brian Kronenberger, Scott Hulon, and Brad Mooney. The band and dancers were given a break midway through the evening as the seniors in the NJROTC unit were presented through a sword arch. After the ceremony, the music, dancing, and fun resumed and continued through until the end of the night. According to junior Caroline Hiatt, It was fun because the band was awesome and everyone stayed and danced to the finish. Susan Landreneau quickly sticks her head in as couples Aurelia Falk and David Grccson. and Michael Rhodes and Kellen Gallagher pose for a pic.

Clubs, Athletic Teams, Dances ... Freshmen Year Offers Diverse Activities When asked what was the best thing about Homecoming. Ashley Stowe and Heather Brauer agreed that It was a good excuse to get together with friends. As with any year, the switch from eighth to ninth grade involves some changes. There are new classes, teachers, and students. What makes this transformation unique is that freshmen year officially begins high school. Being high schoolers enables these students to join clubs, such as the International Club or the Thespian Troupe, not open to the middle school. Athletes are given the chance to play on either the varsity or JV team. Finally, the freshmen status enables students to attend functions like Sadie Hawkins or Homecoming. The one thing that does not change freshman year, as Claire Morris soon finds out, is the need to study in order to keep up one's grades.
