First Snowball open to all I think this was the most excellent high school dance I ' ve ever been to, said Mr. Windle, who was one of the people responsible for signing up the band. I feel that all the work that was put into this first dance made up for the extra money we spent for a more expensive band. I heard many positive com- ments from students. Because of this more expensive band, the first Jones Snowball dance was also open to the seventh and eighth graders. Energy Crisis, a rock group from In- dianapolis, played songs like Play That Funky Music. Julie Harris, a ninth grader chosen as the first new Jones Snowball queen, said, I couldn ' t believe it! I was excited and honored to be chosen as Snow- ball queen. I was really surprised. The runners up for Snowball queen were: Jody Haug, Teresa Laudeman, and Sheila Stebbins. Julie ' s escort was Tim Schoolman. Deanna Gause, a ninth grader who attended the dance, said, I thought it was really neat to see everyone all dressed up. I give credit to all the peo- ple who put their time into making this first dance. I really enjoyed myself. Steve Spoonhoward, another ninth grader who attended the dance, said, It was better than the spr- ing dance last year because accoustics in the new building were better than that of the old building. I really had a good time, and I hope they have another dance this year. After the dance, many of the ninth graders went out to eat. Two of the most popular restaurants were; Rosie ' s Little Italy, and Pizza Hut. This first snowball dance was just the beginning of more dances to come to the new Jones Junior High School.

Writing a mystery takes concentration— ask Rita Perkins. Among other classes sh e was taking was this one on detective stories. It ' s a trip! It was time to start over. Students could change their reputation. When the school was built, school boundries had to be changed, which meant some students had to change to different schools. When they did change to another school, they could start a new life. At the new school, the freshmen were the first graduating class of the new school. Anne Nelson, who went to Justice, thought a new tradition should be started. I think that each graduating class, starting with this year, should buy something special for the new school. Mike Quinn went to the old Jones. His reaction to the new school was, It ' s a trip. When Martie Miller, who went to McCulloch, was asked how he felt about being one of the first graduates from the new school, said, It ' s okay, I guess.
