3wing Your Partner Round N ' Round The Post- Valentines Day Dance, the sec- ond dance of the year, was held on Satur- day February 21st. It was sponsored by the Student Government, and took place in the P.E. gym. Many Student Government members spent their after school hours painting signs and decorating the gym with the traditional colors associated with Saint Valentines Day. A special feature to this dance was the marriage booth. Guys with their favorite gals stood in line, waiting to be married. Reverend Allen Engle, Tom Devetski, and Tom Emsperger performed the services. Every young couple enjoyed receiving a wedding hcense. The success of this dance was due to the careful planning and hard work of the Stu- dent Government and the enthusiasm of our student body. All who came to the dance had a great time, even though Valen- tines Day was a week late. With the excel- lent turnouts of people to this year ' s dances, we are assured that those who plan dances in the near future will also be just as successful. ABOVE AND BELOW: For those who were able to attend the dance, the night was filled with romance and music. Life-17

H eadin ' into Town After a hectic week at school, many Adams students looked forward to either concerts, movies, skating, basketball games, or T. W ' eekend nights were made for forgetting om homeuork and problems and just having fun with our friends. Skiing and innertubing were popular nighttime activities, and if your ankles were strong enough, skating at Howard Park or the Ice Box was a special treat. The appearance of Bruce Springsteen at the ACC was the highlight of this year ' s concert hne-up. Those who could afford the high prices, enjoyed a spectacular and unique performance. . fter the fun Friday and Saturday nights, all that was left were the books to be read, and the papers to be written. RIGHT: One of the highlights of the year was the Bruce Springsteen concert. His performance at the ACC was one of the finest rock roll shows ever.

Juniors Saddle Seniors The 1980 Powderpuff Bowl was from the beginning, a victory for the junior class. In the first game against the fi-eshmen, they quickly picked up the lead due to quarterback Beth Carter, who proved her athletic skills with flawless plays. The freshman, although quite strong, were defeated by a score of 25-0. The second game between the sophomores and the sen- iors was close and exciting. The half-time score was tied 6-6, but in the third quarter Theresa Engeman scored 12 points which put the seniors in the finals. The final game left the juniors victorious and was filled with a fine display of flag football. Senior players Sandy Call, Greta Ehlert, and Bebe Chavez, held strongly against their compe- titors, only to lose by two touchdowns.
