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. The band was NSleepy Hollowu, and even though they played a lot of fast music, they also presented the theme song uWe've got tonightu following the royalty announce- ments. ? T55 if S 1.

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. All the dances were greatly enjoyed by the middle level and high school students, and helped make the year exciiing, entertaining, and fun. 1.

Construction or Destruction? when students arrived at the school in September and got their first look at the building, they came to one unanimous conclusion: something had changed. One could hear comments like 'What happened?'...uThey've destroyed our school!n...uWhat a mess.'...nWe'll freeze in the winter!n...and nHow do we get in?u The construction caused many problems for students when they were trying to get from here to there. The shortest distance between two points was always the long way around. The school could be entered from either end, but not from the front. The only set of stairs that could be used was the one farthest from the locker areas. Since the cafeteria was uinoperativeu Cmeaning completely leveled? students had to eat lunch in the gymnasium for the first part of the year. Naturally, it was also on the opposite end of the building from the stairs. The girl's locker room dis- appeared during the fall sports season, as did the weight training room and a few of the parking spaces. The boys found that they could only reach their locker room by walking across the gym, through the doors, and then back down the hallway. The entire school, partic- ularly the office area, was chronically cold due to the lack of solid, snow- stopping walls, and irritatingly noisy, due to a plethora of construction workers armed with saws, hammers, and drills. But the nnewu Nederland is one we can all be proud of. The cafeteria has been restored Cthough not the balcony, alas! and new lockers and a new office area have been added. The auditorium has been expanded with new music rooms. The weight training room is underneath them now, and the girls' locker room is njust as big as the boys'lU mmvrm 1. If it makes you feel any better, the school was also a mess when it was built in 1971. 2. Ladders, shovels, insulation and dangling lights were oft' seen during the reconstruction of NHS. 3.
