Dances elebrate Youth, Aloha raise enthusiasm liven up school spirit in Students Celebrate Youth was chosen as the theme for the dance held by the Yearbook staff and Student Legislature. They chose an ear- ly date of Saturday, September 21. Students came to school the morning of the dance to help decorate. Hours were spent putting up the royal blue, black, and silver balloons and streamers. As the 250-plus students walked through the cafeteria doors, music was played by the DJ's of Dance Unlimited. Popcorn and Coke went along well with the casual dress and atmosphere. '71 lot of people showed up and it was lot's of fun. I 'm glad they had a dance right at the beginning of the year, commented Shannon Mohler, junior. Giving a spark to the winter gloom Students Against Driving Drunk and Stu- dent Legislature sponsored the Winter Aloha dance on February 8. The sound of music ranging from soul to light rock could be heard blaring from the cafeteria as D.J. John Born played songs popular among the students. The Hawaiin theme seemed to take con- trol easily as the students showed up in flowery Hawaiian shorts an shirts. I thought it was an interesting dance because most of the people were crazy enough to wear Hawaiin clothes during the coldest part of the year. commented senior Wade Kinch. Student Legislature and SADD members spent Friday afternoon and Saturday mor- ning decorating the cafeteria with artificial palm trees and fish nets, seashells, and small poaters with Hawaiian greetings, which were layed out across tall wooden partitians. Such decoratios gave the cafeteria amore Hawaiian-like atmosphere. '34 lot of effort was put forth to prepare for this dance and it all paid off with a great out come, said SADD member Brad Hestand. Advertisement for the dance was done by Mass Media students who made large col- orful posters which could be seen in every hall. With the help from these students, much attention was drawn towards the dance. Another attention getter to promote the dance was the assembly that was held Mon- day before the dance honoring the winter sports atheletes. The students were enter- tained by the band and a performancce by the pom pon squad. The assembly was hosted by Joel Fry and Jerry Gleeson who approached the auditorium stage in flashy white tuxedoes and sharp black ties imper- sonating characters Mr. Roarke and Tatoo from the television show Fantasy Island. - GLITTER AND GLUE- Diana Moreno, North graduate of '80, and Amy Neuway help decorate for the Celebrate Youth dance by making a poster.
