A Wight fo ' ’Bofigfo’ ’ Change and controversy highlighted this year s Valentine s Dance. The drill team sponsored the dance instead of FHA and FFA. The drill team made a few changes, which included the omission of a queen and king. Probably the most notable change was the switch from a live band to a D.J. The girls were fortunate enough to persuade Steve Lundy, a popular disc jockey from WOW in Omaha to attend and host the dance. The drill team had carnations available for students to purchase. The selection ranged from red, pink and white carnations. What made it interesting was that each color had a different meaning Red — I love you' Pink — Thinking of you. White — Just friends. The dance was held February 2 at 9:30 after the completion of a girl's double- header wi th St. Alberts of Council Bluffs. The students really enjoyed the commentary of Steve Lundy, and the chance to get out and boogie , Unfortunately the student's fun was cut short by a fight, causing the dance to be called off at I 1:00. Many students were dis- appointed. especially those who just arrived. Jackie Sheahan. sponsor of the dance commented: I’ve heard from the students, that this was one of the best dances we ve had here. I think it was unfortunate that because of the alumni, the students were punished by having the dance cut short. Probably in the future we would have to limit attendance of dances to just E.H.S. students and their dates. I hope that this incident will not eliminate the Valentine s Dance for next year, because it is popular with the students!! volentine's donee 17 5
