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.
