Due to an evening of exertive dancing, Joe Francz, a freshman at Tri-C, finds it necessary to refasten the flowers of Karen Joyce, ’86.

Dances offer an outlet of energy and talents, whether through dancing or by band imitation, as shown by Chris Rivera, ’86, SE, with date, Leslie Riga! ’86.

The night has just begun and Mid-Park senior Bob Zawiski and junior Darlene Lupica are start¬ ing it off right by “dancing in a Winter Wonderland.” Winter Wonderland was the theme chosen by the juniors and seniors for their semi- formal.

Local restaurants were over¬ whelmed by a barrage of couples eager to begin the long-awaited evening. Photo by Dawn Tarka. The Gym Dazzled (continued from page 31) so many people, so to accomodate everyone, the cafeteria was available, and the 265 couples circulated between the cafeteria and the gymnasium. In the midst of the cold January weather, the theme of a “Winter Wonderland” was very ap¬ propriate. Pi ctures were taken beside a wintry evergreen or in front of a cozy fireplace. Stevie G’s provided the music, and the dancing and excitement minimized the cold. Stars and glitter decorated Sophomore Dance. The decorating committee transformed the gym into a world “Beyond the Silver Rainbow.” The time and effort really paid off when the gymnasium dazzled. The band’s name, Silhouette, reminded the 190 couples of the last dance of the night. The evening without a doubt lived up to the girls’ expecta¬ tions. But eventually all the decorations had to be taken down, the music had to end, and the dance floor again became a basketball court. — Beth Becker ‘ 32 DANCES
