(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.

It was just nice to know we were helping really needy people, senior class president Lee Farr. The Special Olympics gave the men- tally retarded a chance to shine. Over 30 FHA students shined along with them Saturday, May 10. At first we were a little uneasv, but then we became best friends, ftonda Eade said. She took her friend to the events such as the shot put and the soft- ball throw. And we cheered and hugg- ed, she said.
