ven though many students day ended at 2:40, the Intent of the administrative staff was to involve the students in more than academics in developing a broader education. The job was not that difficult especially when it came to dances. Hundreds of students helped to revive the dying dance tradition this year. For the past three years the response from the student body has been overwhelming according to Mr. Dick Powers, activity coordin- ator. The dances have really been successful lately. Dances are really important to get a total educational process. The kids only receive a partial education if they are not involved, he said. But what most Oakies did not realize was how much time was involved in organizing a dance. lt was a big headache, said Business Manager Dolly Cunning- ham. There was a list of things that. you normally don't realize. With food, decorating and music needed to be organized, you were afraid that you might forget something. But lt was worth it. Throughout the year, approx- Imately nine dances were held which was an upswing from past years. The administrative staff has a general rule that only one dance be sponsored a month, Mr. Powers said. But in the past we usually did not meet the quota . . . now we are. As in the case of the St. Pat's dance, most dances have looked to sound systems instead of bands. The majority of the student council, said Student Council Vice President Kristi Marquez, voted for a sound system instead of a band, mainly due to the fact that with a sound system popular songs can be played instead of songs that no one has ever heard before. lf the turnout keeps the upward pace that it has, more will be planned, according to Mr. Powers. We base our judgement on the number of kids who turn out. As long as the reception is good, we will continue to sponsor dances. The student body's reception to dances has proven itself by the number of dances that were placed on the calendar this year, Mr. Powers added. Dances are really fun if you happen to get a partner that doesn't step on your feet or has sweaty palms, said Senior Kim Britton. By Lisa Woody PTSA dance brought in the crowds.
