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.

32 1 Parties Wanna Come Party? Parties were plentiful, both in and out of school. Special occasions were reason enough to have a party, but many times it was just the desire to have a good time. The first of several senior parties was given by Lisa Heard and Scott Stone at Old Monterey clubhouse. There were many worries, we had to rent the clubhouse and hope nothing happened to it. There were over 500 people there and things did get torn up. lt was worth it, but once is enough, said Lisa. As with most senior parties not only the seniors from Kickapoo at- tended but seniors from other Springfield schools, underclassmen, and alumni. Class parties were a way of having fun. As each class had their own par- ty or dance planned by their class officers. When we were freshmen, everything was new and exciting. Everybody went to the class dances and parties. But by the time we became seniors, people's interests V Jason Bekebrede and Amos Bridges, grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Bridges, thoroughly enjoy refreshments at the Halloween party given by Mrs. Wanda Coffman 's child care class. kind of died out. Seniors date people from other schools or alumni and don't want to go without their dates. Most students are looking forward to Prom and don't care about other ac- tivities, said Carol Fuchs, senior class president. Parties livened curriculum. There were all kinds of homeroom and classroom parties: Christmas parties, fund-raising parties, learning- experience parties, and just need-a- break parties. Mrs. Jo Alice Gillihan's class of English masterpiece students had a learning experience party. The class was studying medieval writing, and, to get in the mood of things, we had a medieval dinner and wore medieval costumes. We decided against swan's neck pudding, but studied many medieval recipes and had a splendid time, said Mrs. Gillihan. Along with the senior parties, classroom parties, and class parties, there were private parties with only a special few invited.
