,......,--- The fifth annual . . . Snowflake dance was held after many hours of glittering stars and hanging crepe paper. Sponsored by NHS, the dance was one of the few that was met with enthusiasm by the club members. Mr. Bretz stated, Unlike past years all the members got involved and helped decorate. A group composed of Fort Osage students provided the music. Stonefox received comments from the guests. Karen La Rue said, It was a great band to listen to but not appropriate for a formal dance. ' The queen and court took the royalty march around the gym. Dianne McQuerry was voted queen by the students attending the dance. Janet Duren and Randy Stock were chosen INDIAN LEGENDS King and Queen at Stephenson's Restaurant. The selection out of six candidates was made after interviews with the owner and manager of therestaurant. IT WAS A NICE WAY TO SPEND THE LAST DAY. - Randy Stock believedf It was a unique way to honor the royalty by having lunch rather than a dance. I thought it was a nice way to spend the last day of my senior year. ,,wAt,. 59 . -,,- A1 wwf., V f 5- L if ASSOCIATIONSfSnowflake Dance 23
