WILD 'N CRAZY. Mike Cordes, Scott Hem Vince Ochotorena, Scott Hearn, Andy Beckwi and Charlie White can't resist a camera. (Pholo by Rob Jon ‘Let it all go’ Sock Hop popular theme dance It's so much fun when everyone is out there all dancing together and hav- ing a blast just letting all the tension from a week at school go, Tim Harman, junior, said. According to Donnie Richards, cheerleader sponsor, attendance at the dances was up from the past couple of years. Sophomores got a new experience as peoole actually danced together, instead of forming lines of boys and girls that moved back and forth. The Sock Hop went over well for a first round try. 1 felt like we were in the '50's, Amy Maner, cheerleader, said. Disc jockevs from various radio sta- tions brought the tunes that kept students jammin' until midnight when most students had to be home. School-sponsored dances were a great idea, Suzanne Mormon, mother of Angie Mormon, said. 1 knew where my daughter was and that she was stay- ing out of trouble. A video screen and coconut-scented fog shot the cost of the homecoming dance from the usual $1 to $4. Most dances ended with a slow song, couples swaying back and forth, and the traditional goodnight kiss. JUST A MINUTE. Jenna Doughty and Kevi Rogers stand in line for pictures at th homecoming dance.

(Photo by Lint tn IUh) Gimme a break Assemblies offer relief from routine Please report to your assigned seats in the auditorium ' student activities director Don Matticks said over the PA. First floor first. Row by row, students eventually found their seats to see just what had dragged them out of class this time. Assemblies continued to be cut back as a result of House Bill 72 with assemblies also meaning no homerooms those days. Standard assemblies were M-Ways, Maines Brothers, elections and the multi- media presentation; but the Spurs assembly, the drug dog demonstra- tion and a motivational speaker were new. It was a reason to get out of homeroom and part of class, junior Christy Mallory said. The leadership assembly allow- ed celebrities to philosophize. Stand tall, be yourself, and don't fall in with the crowd because there comes a point where you have to become an individual, sport- scaster Rick Hayes said. Senator John Montford gave his ingredients of a leader as courage, stamina, integrity, character, and most of all, a commitment to excellence. The motivational assembly was great. It was the only one besides the drug dog that didn't put me to sleep, Miciielle Bilderback, junior, said. I'm not a tough guy, Carl Rickert, drug dog trainer, said. Rickert told students that he wanted to merely warn students not to bring drugs to school. The always popular multi- media assembly seemed to be everyone's favorite because of the familiar themes accom- panied by pop tunes. All in all, assemblies were meant to give students a break from the routine of every dav school life, Matticks said. After sitting in assigned seats, students returned to first or third period. Senator John Montford said at the leadership assembly ex- pressing faith in the next 150 years. (Photo by Ru » luihtr) SPIRIT Myf
