Andy Busa's feet could keep him moving all night at the Back-To- School Dance- Oavid Phillips and his date find»a quiet place to talk at the Back-To- School Dance. On Friday night, about once a month, swarms of people would fill the cafeteria. While removing their coats and shoes, they'd laugh and joke casually. Attire was jeans and comfortable shirts that were easy to move around in. The students would then proceed to the dance floor and move their bodies to the beat of the music. What were these large gatherings? Religious ceremonies? Club initiation meetings? No, they were called Soc Hops. Dancing was usually the main event. An even amount of rock and disco was played by Soundtech, and often dances such as the “Pogo” could be found on the floor. But if your feet could never quite catch the beat, Soc Hops were a great place to meet friends and talk. As the evening would come to a close, people would begin to put their jackets back on and retrieve their shoes. Why couldn't these people just leave their shoes on? Well, tradi- tions are traditions. x xxxxxxxxxxx: XXXXXXXXX X ..... xxxxxxxxxxx x: xxxxxxx:- During the Back-To-School Dance.

LAUNCH OF A NEW VC AX Anxic-us to find his next class. Lee Rice awaits the sound of the )u2zer. On the first day of school, students have many questions and schedule changes to make in the subschool 6 office. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Excitement and anxiety were everywhere on September 8, the first day of school. Students piled off buses and into the once empty and quiet school. New faces, as well as old, appeared in the hallways. Friends that had not been seen since June shared their vacation experiences and hopes for the new year. Greetings con- tinued to be exchanged as the bell rang and students went to their homeroom class. For the seventh graders, the transition from elementary to junior high gave them an awesome feeling coming from a small school to one so big with so many people. As for return- ing students, they found a different schedule of classes and new classmates a welcomed ex- perience. All in all, the first day of school was a lively one for every student.
