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.

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.

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.
