Dancing The Night Away What do the classes spend most of their time, money and energy on? Why, the dances, of course! All year long, fundraisers were held to raise money for them and many long hours were spent planning, organizing and arranging the many successful dances of 1982-83. All the middle level dances were sponsored by the middle level student council and were attended by both 7th and 8th graders. Dances were held for Halloween and Valentine's Day, and a Christmas Social was held on Dec. 16th to which senior citizens and pre-school children were invited. Towards the end of the year, on Hay 16th, there was a very successful roller skating party at Wheels in Boulder. An unusual number of dances were held for the high school. The first dance of the year, Homecoming, took place on Oct. lst. As is traditional, the dance was sponsored by student council Cthey had the moneyj with each class taking care of one aspect of the dance Cthey did the workll StuCo and the classes also put on a Sweetheart Dance on February 11th to celebrate Valentine's Day. Twirp, the freshman-sponsored dance where the girls ask the guys, was held for the first time in several years. The freshmen put a lot of effort into the dance, which took place Dec. 3rd, and they even had a disc-jockey from KAZY radio! The juniors started something new when they sponsored a Senior Recognition DinnerfDance on May 2nd. The dance featured a barbecue at the Stage Stop and awards presented granny-style to juniors and seniors. To wrap up the year, the JuniorfSenior Prom was held on May 21st in the gym. The juniors did a good job with the decorations and the refreshments, and the band Sleepy Hzllow provided the entertainment.

The juniors planned early to hold prom at the Stage Stop in Rollinsville, but they were thwarted by first a new district policy and then by the bar downstairs that would have been open during the dance. Their second choice was the new NHS student center, but this too was opposed by the adminis- tration because the contract for the new area had not been finalized and so was not covered by insurance. Even though prom was held in the gym, the juniors did an excellent job with the decorations, using crepe paper to enclose one part of the gym and create a smaller space. They also decorated the student center for a reception area and it was here thai Prince Dan Bartolini, Princess Alison Bodkin, King Max Kirsh, and Queen Debbie Ewing were presented with flowers and the King and Queen crowned.
