lt's Ladies' Night l've Been Waiting for a Girl Like You was the theme of the 1981 Holiday Dance held Dec. 18. This year was no exception for all those girls with the LPA jitters. Put yourself in this place . . . First, you got up the nerve to ask the guy of your choice and the big night finally arrived. Well, you were driving down the road on your way to eat dinner and the conversation was dragging and you were having a little trouble shift- ing gears on your standard transmis- sion. lt was your first time to drive that type of car. Every time you shifted gears there was a distinct jerking in the drive. You explained to him that you were taking it the next day to get repaired. You acted very sure of yourself. Finally, you arrived at the restaurant. Once inside, you discovered that the couple you were meeting there wasn't able to sit at your table. You were fearing an awkward dinner. As you are deciding on what to order, you contemplated on whether or not you should suggest something 28 1 Holiday King, Dance in your price range. You vetoed that idea and hoped you would have enough money. Next, you were sipping your soup but you accidentally slurped it, thus making a very disturbing noise as well as having it drip down your chin. The salad was next, and you had a little trouble there when too much lettuce was on the fork and salad dressing appeared all around your mouth. At the dance, you were feeling more at ease but still a little uptight because you have rather large feet and you didn't want to spoil the mood of a romantic slow dance by smashing toes on the King's dance. QAaron Stull was named the Holiday Kingl. Gnce in his driveway, you sat and talked a few minutes when he said he must get in. Should you kiss him? You decided to give him a little kiss but you forgot you had gum in your mouth and it stuck to his bottom lip. At the end of all this chaos, you hoped he would still be saying, l've been waiting for a girl like you. Holiday King Aaron Stull and his date Erin Hill enjgjl themselves after Aaron was selected Holiday King- Lisa Heard represents all the girls that had toy' through the jitters when asking the man of lll , choice to LPA.

Sweet Dreams Enhance I'm so glad I fell in love with you and l'd do it again if I could, these lines taken from the song Sweet Dreams by Air Supply was the theme for the 1982 Sweetheart Social. It truly was Sweet Dreams for Lisa Rhoden, swimming Can- didate, as she was crowned the 1982 Sweetheart Queen at half- time of the varsity game against Sedalia. Her court consisted of basketball candidates Jean Netzer, and Lori Combs, wrestling candidates Lorre Jones and Mer- rie Miller, and swimming can- didate Ann White. A Touch of Class provided the sound system for the dance and helped to create a romantic at- mosphere. The decorations car- ried out the mood of romance by hanging hearts, cupids, and red, pink, and white streamers throughout the cafeteria. Favors were made of red felt hearts outlined with lace and the attend- ants favors were stuffed as pillows. Studley Whipflash, alias senior Chris Shaefer, steals the heart of Nell, senior, Pam Senter, during the Sweetheart assembly. A lot of hard work went into the creation of the perfect at- mosphere. The decorations helped add a special touch to my last Sweetheart Social. It was dreamy and romantic! said senior Lee Ann Wester. The sweetheart dance helped me really get into the romantic Valentine's Day Mood, even though it was a week earlier that the past years. said senior Shan- da Duncan. The weather was looking bad at first, but as the afternoon went on it started clear- ing up and I was really glad. Since I couldn't drive and it was up to our parents, I thought for sure the roads would be too bad to drive on, said Julie Earnhardt, freshman. The evening ended all too soon, and couples left hoping that maybe soon they would be having Sweet Dreams. Lisa Rhoden reigns as the 1982 Sweetheart Queen. She is the assistant Drum Major of the band, and a member of the orchestra and of Heer's Teenboard.
