Sophs Host Year's lst Social Event While Alchemy blares the music for the mixer, Diane McCullough and Amy Hylin make their way through the crowd. The first social event for the class of '87 was the Freshman-Sophomore Mixer held in the courtyard from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., September 13. Alchemy provided the dance music as the boogie spirit moved through the crowd. The sophomores initiated the danc- ing, and after the ice was broken, enthusi- astic freshmen joined in. As band member John Myers put it, The crowd was great. Everyone really participated. Sophomore Jaime Gerald exclaimed, lt was awesome! l think it was a great place to meet the new freshmen. However, freshman Tim Steep had a dif- ferent opinion. l liked the girls and the music the best. Between dances, freshmen and sopho- mores took a break to enjoy pop, popcorn, and candy that was offered at the conces- sion stand. Last year's sophomore class officers, Tim Myers, president, Dino Einhaus, vice- presidentg Diane Parkins, secretary, and Patty Brockman, treasurer, hosted the dance. Students danced the night away under the direction of a group of sopho- more homeroom teachers. For the freshmen, the 1983 mixer marked the beginning of many high school activities yet to come. As for the sopho- mores, it gave them a chance to be intro- duced to the class of '87 while having a great time. FreshmanfSophomore M1xerf23
