Something New Having a first winter social ever proved that students liked new ideas when they were carried out effectively. The SCA sponsored the so- cial which consisted of a piz- za party and a dance. Each club was represented by candidates for a king and queen. Involvement was the major objective. Hopes for attract- ing as many students as pos- sible was the aim. Weeks be- fore the event, students bus- ied themselves with making the plans to order 100 pizzas and 44 cartons of drinks. It took many trips to the pizza place to keep the starving students happy. Following the feast, the dance was held in the Central Gym. Ev- eryone was anxious to have the announcement of the king and queen winners.

Patsy Young and Todd Grindstaff collected the most money and were declared the winners. It was the king and queen who led the dance, and stu- dents spent a very happy evening dancing to their fa- vorite tunes. The evening was successful with fun and laughter as well as full stom- achs and tired feet.

After the Mid-Winter Social, one could almost visit Italy with this sight of the “Leaning Tower of Piz- Zane 18 Student Life
