Foley, Froome capture King, Queen honors at The second Saturday in February was an evening for sweethearts, friends, and couples to gather at the Sweetheart Dance from 8:50 to 11:50 in the cafeteria. The disc jockey for the dance was john Borne, who kept the dance going strong all night long. Down junior hall 4 foot square posters hung from the ceiling advertising and in- viting students to the dance. Mr. Willome's 4th hour Mass Media class was responsible. By the turn-out at the dance all their work on the advertisement paid off. When the doors opened shortly before David Foley and lzmily Froome start off the first dance r ein crowned Kin and ueenofthe Sweetheart afte b g ' g Q Dance at 10:00 Saturday night. At the Sweetheart Dance, sophomores Pat Tiemeyer and Sandy Lee slow dance and think about evening. Sweetheart Dance 8:30 admission was rather slow, but as the evening progressed people had to stand in line to enter. Most of the attire at the dance was semi-casual, but corsages were still a tradition that couldn't be held back. At one point during the evening the crowd gathered around two young men who were demonstrating one of the new forms of dance called break dancing to one of the more popular songs of the week. just before the announcing of King and Queen, at about 9:45, several cheerleaders and poms along with other students started a line dance. The line eventually ended up as a circle going completely around the floor. Finally at 10:30 the candidates for king and queen were announced. For king were David Foley, Brent Fields, jesse Lopez, and Ron Caldwell, and for queen jan Puckett, Stephanie jones, Emily Froome, and jackie Dennis. Earlier in the week ballots wer passed out in third hour classes so the votin could take place. The students elected David Foley as King and Emily Froome was named Queen. Traditionally, the dance following the announcement of king! queen was began by the two winners and this time was no exception. Mr. Willome's class couldn't handle everything, so students were asked to volunteer for the decorating committee and several poms also helped to decorate the make-shift stage, and cover the cafeteria tables to help them look nice. When the evening started rlowzng down ez couple of guys started to do az break dence. I was ruglmkedaf nowfnrt they could move, commented Wendy Qnzbk.
