But this year, the Seniors figured everyone was iust about sick of their winter clothes and de- cided it was time to get back out the summer attire. So they orga- nized a complete CHRISTMAS IN CALIFORNIA with a sunny out- Decemfexz Dance look but still tying in red and green. We used beach toys in the back- drop for the pictures and decorated al! afternoon to make the gym look like a hot ,December day, says Senior Laura Bowman. The result was people dressed in shorts with sweaters and bare-feet. A Student disc iockeys were hired for the firstitime for the dance. Gunderson Seniors Sean Rapier, Nei! Laslett, and Courtney Neilson filled the gym with good dance rnu- sic all night long. They played a variety of songs, but mostly new wave and soul. Having students D.J. the dance gave them an oppor- tunity to show their talent while helping out the school. Hopefully, they will be D.J.in9 future dances. Another new idea for the dence had to do with pictures. To ease down the line, photographers opened the doors o half-hour early so people could take pictures ahead of time. This way, people could use the whole dance time for actual dancing and not just waiting around. A large turn-out was expected for the dance due to the fact that the tickets completely said out. But for some reason, not half as many people as were expected ac- tually showed up . Though the gym was o bit less crowded, it was a dis- appointment for those who were hoping to see all their friends from school or a special guy or girl there.

Everyone knows that the shor- test distance between two points is a straight line. But the mode of transportation available to students makes the real difference in getting from point A to point B quickly, or even getting there at oil. For most, reaching the age of l6 made problems of transportation easier.

There are plenty of Grizzly students who have mopeds and motorcycles as their mode of transportion.
