THE SENIORS FEATURED THE ANIMAL CALLED PRINK PAURADAMUS. There »a.- lime for lakinf; in the whole atmosphere of the Prink Paurada mus. Silhouettes formed at the Prink Pauradamus show couples enjoying the dance. Pink, while and purple decorated the cafeteria for the Seniors Prink Paura- damus. The dance was tilled after a legendary animal, which some of the sen- iors ' devised for the occasion. Seniors contacted a group called the Legends to provide music for the dance. This group featured a girl singer, who charmed the party goers, . lthough it was a well planned dance, attendance was disap- pointing. In the moments when the hand wasn ' t hlasting out some hard rock music, the dance was quiet and thoughtful for some. For others the time was used to talk, may he tell a few jokes to get a burst of laughter out of their companions. The Legends pla while Jim Brownlee and Linda Feck dance. 20
