Sunshine Society Entertains 188; Silver Bells Enchant Winter Night Sunshine Society ' s semi-formal dance was held on December 13. Red stream- ers, glittering stars, and pointsettias transformed the high school cafeteria into a winter wonderland highlighted by Silver Bells. A silver Christmas tree adorned with red and silver bells greeted the guests in the entryway. Dancing to the beat of TNT ' s platters was the main activity of the evening. Simple, but tasty refreshments were served at the dance. Sunshine Society purchased a decorated sheet cake to go along with the punch and cookies. Tables were set up at the dance for those couples who might want to sit out a dance or chat with friends. Tables were covered with white tablecloths and decorated with streamers and poinset- tias. Pictures were taken by Lovasko Stu- dio from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Memories of a moonlit evening were captured on film before a country scene featuring a deer standing beside a snowy path. Pictures ranged in price from $9 to $38. Officers and sponsors felt that a change needed to be made concerning the eligibility of each sunshine girl at- tending the Christmas dance. In order to attend the dance, every girl had to earn eight points. Points were earned by at- tending meetings, selling cheese and sausage, going to the Halloween party, and decorating for the dance. Although the officers were very strict on these re- quirements, 94 couples attended the three hour activity. Many couples be- gan the evening by traveling to near-by restaurants for a special dinner. Plans for the dance were orchestrat- ed by the club officers and sponsors, Mrs. Slaby and Mrs. Eckert. Chaperones for the evening were Mr. and Mrs. Price, Mrs. Slaby, Mr. and Mrs. Eckert, and Mr. McEwan. Romance is in the air for Juniors, Shaun Fitzpatrick and Pam Hurt, who had a great time during Silver Bells. Pam ' s dress was one of many beautiful tea lengths purchased for the night at Susie ' s Casuals. Waiting patiently for pictures at the 1 986 Sun- shine Dance are Junior Marcia Eenigenburg and Senior Tom Brodner. Proving that years of dancing to the radio have not gone to waste Sophomore Monica Edwards gets down to the beat of TNT. 10 Sunshine Dance
