Worth The Wait Story by Jeanne Gler Photos by Cindy Beck Saturday night, January 10, brought four WMEE disc jockeys out to Lion country to put on the long-awaited Homecoming make-up dance. Although the dance was held on an open night — no basketball game to draw more people — the yearbook staff, who spon- sored the dance, breathed a sigh of relief as crowd began pouring in the doors at 8:00. Fast Jimmy Roberts, Douglas B. Pritchett, Jennifer Carr. and Magic Steve Christian gave out Mountain Dew T-shirts, took song requests, and kept the tunes rolling throughout the evening. Over two hundred screaming, gy- rating bodies jammed, boogied, and rocked to ACDC, Queen, and Pat Benatar. For those who came only to slow-dance, there were also mel- low tunes by artists like Dan Fogelberg and the late John Lennon. The music played continu- ously for three hours, but for some, the dance was too short. Because of the DJ ' s eagerness to please and their obvious ability to do so, the WMEE Spec- tacular proved a financial success as well as a fun-filled night. Sporting her neiv pink hat.
