Swinging to the beat . . . Seniors Phil Poor and Dori Ditty dance the night away at Winter Dance. Fashion Some could have been worn to prom; some could have been worn to church. A variety of dresses and suits were seen In A Winter Wonderland for Winter Dance. The girls ' dresses ranged from dark and luxurious colors to bright and flashy colors; from sequins and silk to taffeta and lace; from the fully-hooped to a tight-fitting dress. The newest fad, a bubble skirt, was very popular in dif- ferent colors and styles. From high heels to flats and from rhinestones to glitter, it was a custom that the shoes match the girls ' dress. The suits worn by the guys were basi- cally the same, ranging from a basic three-piece suit to a tuxedo. Mens shoes did not have such a wide range, as most wore flat loafers. Fashion has always had it ' s spotlight at all dances. Simon Says . . . Mr. Koger. the Sociology teach- er, plays Simon says with children at the Sociolo- gy party. Christmas spirit Screams and laughter filled the room as sociology students played with chil- dren at the Head Start Christmas par- ty. Jerry Koger ' s students each chose a child of their own for the evening. Students bought the children Christ- mas gifts ranging from trucks to dolls. and crayons to coloring books. Many students enjoyed an evening of singing, eating, and sharing gifts. Santa Claus made an appearance to ask each child for a gift wish. He brought them stockings filled with socks, crayons, coloring books, and candy. Many of the children were afraid of the students at first, but after the gifts were exchanged and Santa Claus ap- peared, they opened up and smiled. The Christmas party was Koger ' s way of letting Head Start students de- velop new friendships. After the eve- ning was over, students had the oppor- tunity to keep in touchwith their child through the parents permission. Sociology students not only learned from the experience, but got to share happiness with a child. Cornonation 1988 . Seniors Mike Bennett and Shane Stone were crowned king and queen of Winter Dance.

Snowfall brings winter activities Winter Dance: Winter Wonderland It went really well. 1 think everyone liked it. said Student Government President Vicki Owens about this year ' s Winter Dance. The theme of the dance was Winter Wonderland . The luminous walkway and picturesque scenes transformed the Parkview gym into a wintery night indoors. King Mike Bennett and Queen Shane Stone reigned over the dance. They were chosen by the student body early in January. The court consisted of sen- iors Phil Poor and Monica Stoots; jun- iors Kelly Craft. Jennifer Hayes, Traci Thalls and Bob White: and sophomores Tony Cronk. Corissa Shaw, Dan Sme- kens and Amy Saunders. The dance, which was sponsored by the student government, cost approxi- mately $2200. Owens said. It went rather smoothly. There was a lot of hard work, but it wasn ' t as big a hassle as I thought it would be. Owens also said, I was realy happy with the people who helped with deco- rating. It didn ' t take nearly as long as it has in the past. The location of the dance changed from the girls gym to Parkview gym because of construction. It was a lot better than I thought it would have been, said senior Jenny Franklin. ' When it was announced that it was going to be in Parkview gym, a lot of people thought it wouldn ' t be as good. I liked it just as well in Parkview, said junior Ronita Dinkins. I thought It looked better in Park- view, said senior Julie Renner. The location of the dance didn ' t seem to alter the traditional winter dance atmosphere. Student govern- ment did a great job, said sophomore Shelly Bell. It was a night to remem- ber. It was really a lot of fun, and I had a great time. said senior Krista Cham- bers. Many couples chose to go out to din- ner either before or after the dance. Going out to eat after the dance makes the whole night even more memorable. said senior Angle Mor- gan. Winter dance was very special be- cause I went with a very special some- one, said senior Monica Stoots. As a senior, I really enjoyed my last winter dance. As Winter Dance came to a close and all of the balloons and streamers were taken down, the winter wonderland was converted back into its original state. Many NCCHS students left with sweet memories that will last a life- time.

Spring brings more than rain An awning of red, black, and silver streamers set the mood for tfie 1988 Prom. ■■Moonlight Masquerade. Over two hundred couples attended the gala which, for many, was one of the best proms in years. With a greater response from students than last year, juniors, as well as sophomores, seniors and a variety of chaperones, joined to- gether to transform a high school field- house into a ballroom for couples dressed in their elegant, formal attire. When it came right down to deco- rating and getting the job done, there ; ' ' 3s 3 great response from the jun- ic;, said ju.nior Lisa Dowd. We were a ' .so sjrpr ' sed by the number of sen- ■cr£ vvno came to help decorate. Decorating ; ; 4:00 Friday af- •Xi ' school ' o inued well after ' ■ ' ■ ■ ' • ' si- ' i. burtneend results were well worth all the time spent. Approximate- ly $3,500 was spent on the decorations which included the cost of refresh- ments and the entertainment. The en- tertainment was provided by a disc jockey from the International Enter- tainment Bureau of Indianapolis. It was nice that the junior class could take time to do that for us, said senior Joy Armbruster. I was skeptical about walking by the trainer ' s room but It was a fantastic idea. Mrs. Polk did a fine job on the over- head streamers, said senior Phil Poor, •■and the rest of the decorations were equally as good. All decorators should be commended. During the course of the evening, junior class president Lisa Dowd crowned junior Traci Thalls Prom Queen for 1988. Following the corona- tion, the queen and her escort, sophc more David Sadler, danced th queen ' s dance to the song of If b Bread. The music provided a romantic set ting emphasized by the streamers an balloons surrounding the dance floor Tables decorated with lighted candle and small favors helped to comple ment the theme of Moonlight Mas querade . Following the Prom festivities, man; couples chose to dine, with several go ing to Muncie or Indianapolis. All in all. •■Moonlight Masquerade ' provided NCCHS a chance to unveil tc reveal a night of magic and mystery. Everybody had a great time, saic sophomore Cindy New. It will be ; night I ' ll never forget. 16
