Think waaaaay back to our first year at Melrose High School. Do you remember this night ' 1 About one hundred sophomores dressed up in their wildest Hawai- ian duds to grace the dance floor in the cafetorium. For three and one half hours we engaged in hula dancing, party trams, and a back breaking limbo contest amidst huge paper flowers and brightly colored leis. Adding to the fun were the fabulous dance techniques of class advisors Mrs. Kossuth and Mr. Gillick. Without a doubt, this was definitely one of the most memorable nights during our time here at M.H.S. . . . Aloha!
