As We Swirl With Our Sweethearts This year’s Sweetheart Swirl was sponsored by the Pom Pom Squad and Cheerleaders. The girls decided on something a little different this year; instead of having a band, they decided on the Disco Sensation with lights. The turnout was better than expected. These girls worked really hard on planning and decorating for this dance, and did a fine job. On March 17, student council sponsored the Shamrock Shimmey.
