the night away What makes the Kerr Scott building exciting on a Saturday night? Dancing with A Spark of Moonlight, of course! As the night of January 31, 1987 neared, excitement mounted on Meredith College ' s campus. When the big night finally arrived, girls and their dates made the most of it, dancing away the night with The Voltage Brothers. The darkened room, illumined by disco lights, was enhanced by overhanging moons and stars, while trees of balloons added just the right touch. It was indeed an enchanting evening. In the spring, freshmen and sophomores went Plum Krazy at their semi-formal held at the Raleigh Inn. Dancing among purple and white streamers to the music of the Waller Family, couples especially remembered when confetti and balloons were dropped from the ceiling at midnight. A few miles away at the Hilton, juniors and seniors jammed to the music of Mirrors. For them, the magic night was definitely A Block Tie Affoir. No matter the season or the location, Meredith Angels knew how to enjoy a great event. Thoughts of dancing the nights away always brought enchanting dreams.
