11. Yowza Yowza Yowzall We're Dancing! If you were in the Flushing High School cafeteria on the nights of October 7 and November 5, you would have been in the Flushing Disco . The Student Organization sponsored the two disco nights. The entertainment was prolvided by Soul Connection, six disc jock- eys who played disco music for dancing to The Bump , The Hustle , The Bus Stop , and The Walk . They also played Salsa CLat- inj Disco and rock. Between 350 and 400 people attended each Disco Night and the S.O. made S125 at the October 7 dance and S150 at the No- vember 5 dance. Both of the dances were sold out. Five door prizes of albums were given to the lucky ticket holders, at each Disco Night. The S.O. sold cold soda and served potato chips and popcorn. Both evenings were successes and every- one had a smile on their faces as they hustled across the floor. You dance divinely, my dear. cv . :'.'
