Cafe Creates Romance Un Soir en Paris” (A Night in Paris) was the theme of the Spring Dance sponsored by the Sophomore Class. It was definitely a night to remember. The care- fully designed setting and backdrop represented a sidewalk cafe in the romantic city of Paris. With gleaming stars and lighted trees, the Grande Salle contained nothing but good vibrations from all the en- thusiastic people who danced to the music of “Sardonyx”. Sophomores responsible for planning and carrying out the successful night were Stella Hannon (Chairperson), Gail Vaughn (refreshments), Jeanine Ferro (band), Mary Nestel and Beth Berkshire (decora- tions), and Helen Bowman (clean-up). They were seen several days after school hauling articles from the graveyard” and making other arrangements to make the dance a special occasion. The evening concluded with the crowning of the dance queen and her court. Applause burst forth from the dancers and their dates when the winners were announced: Sharon Wilkerson, queen; Ann Novosel, Gina Farrell, attendants. Following a special selection played to honor the court, the freshmen and sopho- more girls and their dates bid “Adieu to their “Soir en Paris”. 36 Spr ng Dance

Clubs Explore Customs Sion's abundance of foreign language students produced three active clubs in ’81-’82. The enthusi- asm of the Spanish Club members was shown through their involvement in activities; for example, many of the members attended a Mexican Spanish mass held at the school in the spring for the Sion student body and Rockhurst Spanish students. Senior members recited poetry and won a prize for originality in the skit they presented at William Jewell College for an Hispanic holiday. The Latin Club returned for the first time in years to show their zeal. Each member paid dues in order that the club could have membership in the junior division of the American Classical League. Club membership also enabled Latin II students to attend the state convention in Columbia in May. For their celebration of the infamous Ides of March the club initiated new Latin students into the mysteries of the day. Later the group decorated Easter eggs and de- livered them to Seton Center as a service project. The members of the French Club introduced Sion students to the wonder of croissants at a breakfast in February. They also sponsored a movie for all French students and a spring songfest. Shelley Col- lier, president, remarked, “I really enjoyed the club. There are so many people that at times we need to be more organized, but otherwise it is great!” 38 Language Clubs
