Duke and Duchess winners, Bruce Peters and Carolyn Riddell, receive ribbons and plaques at the ADD Dance. Traditions such as choosing ' Royalty ' lend spice to a year that is otherwise Joann Thompson, escorted by Major Ken Lukenbill, presides as queen of the NDCC ' s Sleigh Ride dance. Dances at North Central put the icing on the cake as far as student life is concerned, with com- petition keen for who will get dates. Most of these affairs are given to increase finances. One is the Northerner staff ' s annual Duke and Duchess Dance ( ADD ) which helps to pay the deficit on the year- book. Bruce Peters and Carolyn Riddell were chosen Duke and Duchess at the ADD Dance. Diane Tra- montini was selected Fall Sports Queen. Juniors held their prom last year at the Indiana Roof using the theme Deep Sea Dream. Dave Richards and Diane Tramontini reigned as Prom King and Queen. A week before students left for the Christmas holidays, the Student Council held its formal dance of the year, Peppermint Paradise. NDCC boys picked Joanne Thompson as their queen at the Military Ball, Sleigh Ride. The Key Club ended the social season with their money-mak- ing venture, a spring dance, this year entitled Swing into Spring. ' In addition to dance royalty, Roberta Bowsher was named Yard Parks Queen in March. for proms and formal dances spent in more serious pursuits Jay Steele is as excited as his date, Diane Tramontini, over her selection as queen of the Fall Sports Dance.
