Dance steps require concentration by Greg Billstein and Carrie Hllleary, seniors. Upbeat music entertains Brenda Kropp, freshman, and Chuck Arthur, senior, Nov. 6. olling at the rock Decorations were sparse, consisting of only a few scattered bal- loons and some red and white stream- ers forming x's across the windows. The platform had seven every-day cafe- teria chairs on each side of it. Still, the uncarpeted section of Kirk- wood's cafeteria was alive with Kirk- wood and Webster students dancing to the strains of t'lVlickey, by Toni Basil. It was no longer the site of people downing infamous plate lunches but the scene for the traditional Friendship Dance, Nov. 6. Though the dance had two first-time sponsors, KH Players and Black Aware- ness Club and was three weeks ahead of tradition's schedule, it netted 3575. Because of the varsity football Pio- neers possible participation in the Show lvle Bowl in Kansas City, Nov. 27, the dance took place on the earlier date. lf it had been after T-Day, as usual, there might have been an even better turnout than there was, said Kim Aus- tin, Black Awareness Club vice-presi- dent. Just under 2OO people attended the semi-formal dance. Some attributed the better-than- Friendship Dance average attendance to the co-spon- sorship. The co-sponsorship worked out welI, said Elizabeth Hill, sophomore. lt pulled in different types of peopIe. uit would have been too much pres- sure to put on a single new sponsor, said Austin. The way it worked out, we just decided the theme QFrisco Rocky, made our plans and followed them through. Kim Loomis, Friendship maid, and Gary Yoxen, her escort, made their plans and followed them through, also. As the two strolled to their places in the court,--laughs filled the cafeteria. Loomis and Yoxen were both dressed in black and white with red cummer- bunds and red high-top tennis shoes. lt fit my generally bizarre personal- ity to do something like that, said Loo- mis. 'il think people sort of expected me to do something crazy. After Loomis and Lucy Wibben- meyer, the final maid, took their seats, John Diamond, senior, and Angie Fan- troy, Black Awareness Club president, announced Terri Malone, of Webster, and Stephanie Adams, of Kirkwood, Friendship Queens.
