The theme was A Heavenly Win- ter ' s Eve. Couples dressed semi-formally for the occasion, and before the dance some went out to dinner. Popular restau- rants at which to eat were the Emporium. Tippecanoe Place, and the Ice House. After eating dinner, most cou- ples went to the mistletoe, where The Music Company played some popular dance songs from 9:00 to 12:00. I thought the band played really well! commented Joe Dot- The Rose Ballroom Was The Scene For This Year ' s istletoe son, a junior. In addition to dancing the night away, students could take a break to buy refreshments or to have their pictures taken. Several different packets were offered for couples who wished to cherish this memory forever on film. Afterwards Pizza Hut, located on McKinley Avenue, sponsored an after-dance party exclusive to Mishawaka High School stu- dents. Several couples opted to stop there for a while after the Ball. It was cool to have a res- taurant reserved just for us, re- lates Jeromy Wolford.
