THE WRAP-UP ROLLS ON Darkness falls. A car pulls up, quickly extinguishing its lights. A cloud of suspicious-looking shadows creeps through the night, hands in- visible. Suddenly, like lightning bolts, streams of toilet paper streak through the air, engulfing an entire house and yard. Another honor” is bestowed on an “innocent” victim. A new rash of TP-ing begins, but local wig-wams are not the only targets. Sometimes automobiles fall prey to the tissue terrorists. It is a tribute to the fast-moving marauders. Special tactics are practiced by the veteran TP tossers. Among the most effective is to TP just before a light mist, or rain. The rain causes the paper, especially generic varieties, to stick and fall apart, mak- ing clean-up far more difficult. Of course, when it reaches this point, thoughts of ever cleaning-up the mess fall to the wayside. By then, it ' s impossible. Most of the fun, and all of the risk, is in eluding capture by residents, nosy neighbors or policemen. This means night-time expeditions are most desirable. The price for being caught, at current rates, (if charges are pressed) is $50 per roll. You also get the privilege of cleaning up the mess. But this in no way deters expert TPers from continuing the mad ram- page that blankets so many cars, yards and houses in two-ply colors. Indeed, some discriminating TP affi- ciondos even try to accentuate the decor with such accessories as balloons, soap, crepe paper, and, weather permitting, shaving creme. Teachers can be favorite targets of the artful assailants. Concerning the number of times she had been honored Miss Ann Thompson said, “I haven’t had to buy toilet paper all year.” God made the world beautiful,” quipped Vykke Young, but he left out one thing — and it’s Soft and Pretty.” ▲ To keep the toilet paper intact, it must be tied around the mirrors and hooked into gas caps, door handles and bumpers. ► The best part is watching the reaction on the T.P.ed person ' s face. After the initial shock, Todd Willis inspects the squeezably soft substance all over his truck. 18 — Feature

20 Paris Comes to Hanover “Most people were dancing and the band was pretty good. I think everyone had a good time,’’ com- mented Gaythee Young. Fifty couples attended the Tur- nabout Dance sponsored by the Pom Cats. The theme for the dance was Evening in Paris” and the decora- tions of wine bottles, glasses and the Eiffel Tower on the wall, set the mood for the evening. “There was a good turnout. This year we made money whereas last year we lost money because there was such a lack of interest and money. The weather was bad and a lot of people had trouble getting here, said Pom Cat, Cheryl Sawyer. The most trouble the girls had was setting up. It took from after school until 8:00 p.m. to get everything ready. Most of the decorations were ▲ The band The Sound played at the Turnabout Dance.

The queen candidates were chosen differently, too. A represen- tative was chosen from each class in- stead of just taking the top five of all the classes. The sophomore vote was tied so two candidates were taken. Overall, the dance came off better than the dances of the past few years with the changes and an increase in enthusiasm. — Turnabout
