Faculty member Myra Beth Slawson remarked, You know that spring is coming. Look at all these lovebirds. Even Ker Sheppard, a freshman, noticed that “Valentine s changes attitudes. Commenting on the beauty of the gym, Jerry Blanken sophomore, concluded, This is prettier than a picture.” Freshman Dave Lester summed up the Valentine s Dance by saying one of the best we had, good music and a good time all night. A special part of this special evening was the crowning of the Valentine court: King Eric Roberts, Queen Karen Harris, Princ Hutsell, and Princess Penny Moore. Cupid stayed busy shooting his arrows at unsuspecting couples throughout this romantic evening. — Staff 14 STUDENT LIFE REFLECTIONS
