Mellow reflections of Christmas past and present filled the school annex during the annual Mistletoe and Holly Ball. Ush- ering the season in with a grand repro- duction of Colonial Williamsburg, indus- trious Keyettes and Key Clubbers provided an intimate glimpse of the 1 8th century town, featuring the Duke of Gloucester Street Candles winked in the stained glass windows of Bruton Parish Church, and deacon ' s benches provided rest for weary dancers With imaginations aglow, guests could visualize golden lights spilling from cellophane lamps, and candlelight flickering from lanterns ad- orning the house front doors. The hospitable atmosphere of Sir Thomas ' Tavern invited hungry guests to sample holiday goodies from tables laden with food fit for a royal governor of colonial times. The exciting sounds of Diamond Dupree filled the air with a pulsating rhythm. Semi-formal attire did not in- hibit the dancers as they moved in the modern disco styles to today ' s music. The dance ended much too soon. De- parting guests strayed back for one last look down the Duke of Gloucester Street, its once festive radiance dimmed as the band packed up to leave. Slowly, guests emerged from the spirit of an old-fash- ioned Christmas to the 20th century. Take that and that! Miss Cheryl Meidinger looks on appalled at the brutality with which Wally Nelson clears the Annex for the dance Beating the heat with a refreshing drink of punch. Tea Romano and Chip Handley take a break from the vigorous dancing at the Mistletoe and Holly Ball. Why are they smiling? Tim McCrane and Toni Rodriguez, obviously having a good time, will never tell. Highlights — 26

That’s The The Ball Way • • ••• Ten o’clock! The magic hour had finally arrived. The Kecoughtan cafe- teria grew quiet, the band remained silent, and a hush fell over the crowd at the Basketball Homecoming Dance. Who would be this year’s Homecoming Queen? SCA vice president, Janet Therianos, stepped up to the microphone and began to announce attendants chosen by their classes. Sophomore girls were Shelly Hertach and Amy Picchi; and junior at- tendants were Debbie Reeves and Chris Duck. Tension mounted as the seniors were named: Pat Hayhurst, Teresa Canton . . . and suddenly everyone knew! Cheer- leader Annie Weih had won! Amid con- gratulations and red roses, Annie Weih smiled throughout the remainder of the evening. Surprise!! Basketball Homecoming queen Annie Weih ecstatically accepts her bouquet of roses from SCA president Steve Mewborn Nervously awaiting the announcement of Homecoming queen, senior attendant Teresa Canton reflects the tension in the air Highlights — 28
