AT THE SADIE HAWKINS DANCE, Renee Hostetter and Randy Gilbert dance to the music of the Bee Gees. SINGING ALONG is part of the fun as Lil McClung and Eric Staton demonstrate. DANCING THE NIGHT AWAY Something that always pleased the student body was news of an upcoming dance. From the very first sock hop with music provided by WSLQ down to the very ele- gant and sophisticated Prom, Students got down and “‘bo- ogied”’ until 11:30. However, not every dance stopped at this time. For the first time in the history of Parry McCluer an all night dance was held. The Disc-o-thon was spon- sored by the Parrimac staff to raise money. Music was provided by Darby Lawhorne and C.E. Floyd. Students danced from 6:00 p.m. until marathon 6:00 a.m. when the winners were announced. A very popular dance at Parry McCluer is the Sadie Hawkins dance sponsered by the Sophomores. Students could get hitched and un- hitched to their favorite ‘“‘marriage’’ partner. Bales of hay and = students in old clothes provided the back- ground for this traditional girl-ask-boy dance. Many dances were held in honor of special events. Among these were the Christ- mas Dance and the Ring Dance. At the Ring Dance Juniors had their rings put on their fingers then formed the class figure to dance to ‘‘How Much | Feel’’.
