Tinsel, twists and Saint Nick Beneath striped candy canes that hung from the parachutes, students danced to the music of WREL disc jockeys Jay Corn and Yo-Yo Roane at the junior-soponsored Christmas Dance, “Candy Cane Castle.”’ A jolly Santa Claus, alias junior Edwin Johnson, wandered around a huge decorated Christmas tree as he greeted students and displayed his dance moves. The disc jockeys sponsored several contests, which were judged by the dee-jays and student applause. Soph- omores Chris Greene and Jamie Mays won the dance contest; seniors John Baker and Mary Shaffer won first prize in the twist contest, while the runners- up were sophomores Robert Glenn and Theresa Zybko. Junior Gary Black- well and senior Cindy Tolley won the best-dressed contest. Eighth-graders Tal McThenia and Cheryl Sherburne won the prize for being the youngest couple at the dance. Tal remarked that he was very sur- prised, because “| thought there were a lot of eighth-graders there.’’ Mary summed up the twist contest by say- ing, “It was wild!’’ The juniors felt the dance went very well, and vice-presi- dent Chris John said, “We thought it was pretty successful, one of the most successful Christmas dances we’‘ve been to. If was good preparation for the Prom.” 20 christmas dance ee ay soe st get a Fi fj haart ries = ON el IT eT ET TE EE I I TT I x ry ao a Gye ke kes te ee } ants ehied Juniors Holly Lowsley and Ronnie Canfield move to the beat of the junior-sponsored ““Can- — dy Cane Castle.”’ eg ewe
