All Dressed Up SNOWY EVE 223 couples gather to beat the blizzarc f found the number calling system better than waiting in line because it gave me time to fix my tie.” Blessed with mild snow and light winter storms, one win- ter blizzard that hit students hard was the semi-formal Snowball dance. Sponsored by the cheer- leaders, the dance was held in the cafeteria from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Jan. 11. The cafe- teria was decorated by the cheerleaders in a peach and lavender tone. Walking through the doors, students were greeted with cascading streamers and a fountain bub- bling over with fruit punch. • The music was provided by a disc jockey which was a change from former years. “I preferred the disc jockey be- cause there was a variety of music and not many bands play versatile music,” junior Jay Potasnik explained. To improve the picture tak- ing process, numbers were called which proved to be more efficient than waiting in line. Senior Mike Irk stated, “I found the number calling sys- tem better than waiting in line because it gave me time to fix my tie.” With no red carpet or throne, the first annual Snow- ball King and Queen were an- nounced. Seniors John My- beck and Lori Van Senus took the spotlight dance to the theme song “We’ve Got To- senior Mike Irk night.” “At first I was embar- rassed dancing in front of ev- eryone, but I had a lot of fun,” explained Lori. The outcome of the dance proved to be lucrative be- cause 225 tickets were sold. With an all time high number of tickets sold, one-third of the student body attended the dance. Couples found it difficult to decide whether to go to din- ner before or after the dance. “We went to dinner before the dance because our curfews were earlier than most peoi pie’s,” stated freshman Susia Beckman. On the contrary, junior Mij chelle Moore stated, I likecj going to dinner after the dance because we had some4 thing to look forward to.” Leaving their homes extra early allowed students time to take pictures at the friends’ houses. “We left my house at 7 p.m. and didn’t get to the dance until 8:30 p.m. because we went to everyone’s house for pictures,” said sophomore Julie Bacino. Although the weather out- side was snowy and cold, nothing could have spoiled the heated excitement and warm smiles bundled inside the Snowball dance. AS the crowd watches the senior guys groove to the Super Bowl Shuf- fle, senior Kelly Harle captures the moment by taking a snapshot. Special events such as this, were worth re- membering. GETTIN’ down to the music, seniors Gregg Shutan and Sue Calla- han show that they have their own unique way of dancing. The fast pace of the music was a way for th em to let themselves go. 20 Winter Formal
