Santa Claus and snowflakes Decorated in an array of snow- flakes, the LHS gymnasium became a ‘Disco Blizzard.” The junior class worked to make the Christmas Dance a night to remember. The couples were greeted at the door by no one other than Santa Claus (Clifford Payne). Halfway through the dance, a dance contest was held for stu- dents to show how well they could do the latest in disco dancing. The winners of the contest were Bill Moore and Liz Gary. Robert Hartmen, a disc jockey out of Roanoke, played the best in disco music. Enjoying a break from the disco beat, Pam Elliott and Terry Fix dance a slow one. Dancing the night away, Cheryl Clark, Sharon Pearson, Norris Hall and Lenny Bane move through the “‘Disco Blizzard.” As she concentrates on every move, Pam Chittum, a night school student, boogies across the LHS gym. 22 chrono
