This could have only been the sweetheart dance. Lights flashed; the contemporary music roared through the unexpectedly large crowd. During the week, snow and ice had made hazardous travel conditions, but there was clear weather for the successful social gathering. All the decorations, arrangem- ents and settings were extremely at- tractive. This took much hard work and long hours, approximately ten to eleven hours of work said sweetheart dance sponsor Mrs. Karen Peavler. Obviously lots of hard labor and many working hands were needed to complete that look which resulted. Everyone enjoyed the dance's sweetheart look. The theme of the dance was Can't Help Falling In Love by the pop rock star, Corey Hart. All the couples who appeared loved the set where the photographs were made which would capture the moment forever. How could someone help falling in love under the lights and in the dimly lit corners of the dance hall? Many couples enjoyed the time they spent alone together. The music was supplied by FM94% and Fantasy Productions. All who attended were not disappoint- ed for a second by the music supply. From Chicago to The Beastie Boys , all were satisfied with the sound that echoed throughout the dance floor. Amidst the crowd and confusion, Tiua Chilton said her favor- ite part of the dance was being with that special someone. All in all the dance was great and was enough to electrify hearts with cupid's arrow shot through them. Jamming out an overload of loud dnd loose rock-and-roll music. Fantasy Productions pro- duces the ultimate sound supply. Enthusiastically Julie Drury smiles as she sits contentedly, yet happily next to her dance es- cort, Rodney Sims. 18 Sweetheart Dance

Although some members of an on-campus relation- ship seem to think very differently. A representative of couples, Melissa McGinnis stated, Yes, it lets you get to know the person better and how they will react to a lot of everyday problems that you will not see if ou are not with them. Also it allows you to share a lot more than being apart will. Robbie Lunsford said, No, be- cause if I really like the person it does not matter how long I see that per- son. Most people always considered the feelings involved in relationships and how much importance was placed on the emotional factor.
