X t X Caught in a dream world of their own, Susan Handley and Paul Farquharson succumb to the mood of the evening. As the special hour drew nearer, I paced back and forth, waiting for my date. Finally, he arrived and we left for our favorite restaurant where we dined in elegance. The romantic decor and first class service added to the enchantment of the evening. When we reached the site of the dance, music, provided by “Twelve O ' Clock High, echoed through the halls of KHS. As we entered the Annex, its everyday atmosphere had been transformed into a “Dream World, the theme for the Ring Dance. Misty clouds and sparkling stars created a “heavenly mood. The evening floated on as we danced and socialized with other couples. Before the turning of rings, chairpersons Lisa Diffenderfer and Alfred Crews presented sponsors Mrs. Nancy Shrout and Mrs. Shirley Wingfield with roses in appreciation for their year long help and support. Under the direction of president James Hicks, the impatient juniors and dates joined hands and formed a ring. Within seconds, rings were turned for the eightieth time. During the theme song, Billy Joel ' s “Everybody Has a Dream, the Class of 1980 believed for a couple of moments that they might never wake up from their “Dream World. After the dance, we joined other couples and attended parties given by fellow juniors. As the evening drew to a close, we left behind our junior year and took with us glittering stars as souvenirs and a peaceful “heavenly feeling. SPECIAL EVENTS 29
