Decorations were put up by members of Stuco and volunteers. Slow songs draw couples to the dance floor. and I had fun with all my friends before and after the dance,” said David Hanny, Atchison senior. The Sweetheart dance was well attended with 60 couples and around 30 people attending stag. Vickie Bona, Atchison senior, said, “The dance was o.k. but the whole night was a blast. It would have been a lot nicer if the weather would have been better. It was a pain having to carry an umbrella every time I got in and out of the car.” Crowned queen was Jamie Oldervik, Colorado Springs, senior. King was Kirk Nash, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, senior. The Legion hall was decorated by Stuco and other volunteers. “I thought the decorations were really nice especial- ly the senior section. The band was good but it was almost too hot to dance,” said Ricky Morris, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, senior. With the new theme, reactions to the dance were good. The people had fun before, during, and after the dance. (Story by Dee Dee Havens and Shawn T. Boos.) As the newly crowned King, Kirk Nash, and Queen, Jamie Oldervik, finish a slow dance. The dance that was Winter Formal was changed to Sweetheart Dance. It was well attended. The annual Winter Formal Dance was given a new theme, The Sweetheart Dance. The Academy girls voted for the change. It was moved up to February using Valentines Day as the theme. The five man band was Gary and the Cruisers, from Lawrence, KS. The majority of the students thought they played good songs and that they were better than some of the other bands we have had at other dances. Jamie Oldervik, Colorado Springs, senior, said, “I thought the band was good. They played alot of popular songs.” Another change for the dance was students were allowed to go stag. Karin Conrad, Atchison, senior said, “I had fun going to the dance stag. I went with some of my friends and I think we might have had more fun than the couples who were there. All week long we planned how we were dressing and what we were going to do before and after the dance. We wanted to make the night one to remember, and I do believe we succeeded.” “Going stag was better than I thought it would be. It saved me money Dance takes on changes Sweetheart couples show their many dancing abilities. Gary and the Cruisers played a lot of songs that the students enjoyed.

Enjoying a little free time Although most people believe that all Maur Hill and Academy students do nothing at home but study. We have found that some students do enjoy activities other than homework. Life in the homes of day students vary from watching T.V. to playing billards. Favorite T.V. programs in- clude Knots Landing, Dynasty, and Monday Night Football. Thad Lick- hart, Atchison senior, said, “I watch a lot of T.V. It gives me a chance to take a break from my homework and allows me to relax for awhile.” Many students enjoy sitting down with the family or friends and playing an exciting game of Trivial Pursuit. Dan Miller, Atchison senior, said, ‘T like to play Trivial Pursuit not only because it’s fun but also because it’s educating.” Nineteen students from Maur Hill and the Mount spent a lot of time in December preparing them- selves for a ski trip to Colorado. David Buessing, Atchison senior, said, “I spent a lot of time getting things together and worrying about how I would finance the trip.” Although studying is a major time consumer for most students, free time is very valuable and used to the fullest extent. (Story by Kevin Wagner) Waiting patiently outside his house, David Buessing waits for his ride to the basketball game. David uses his time wisely looking for the first snow. Testing their knowledge, Susanne Brom, Jenny Immel and Aaron Brom, play Trivial Pursuit. The game has become very popular throughout Maur Hill and the Academy. The Buessing billiard room has provided much student entertainment. Shawn T. Boos spends an evening playing an exciting game of eight ball. 1 2 3 a 2 z 18 Day Student Homelife
