K SBPPB ' ' Mistletoe Melody Is Mnsic To Students ' Ears Hershey kisses, Chi-Chi gift certificates, music and, of course, dancing were all things that added to the merriment at the Christmas dance. This dance was held on December 2 following the Falcon-Ben Da- is Giant football game until 11:30 p m. The dance took place in the cafeteria. Streamers and crepe paper bells conveyed the festive idea of Mistletoe Melody which was the theme. Punch and cookies were served at the snack bar. Mr. Jeff Johnson was on hand to provide the evening ' s music. Slow music and love ballads by various artists such as Lionel Richie were intermingled with a few upbeat songs. Terri Music ' 85 was the lucky winner of a g 10 albimi after she made the closest guess of the number of Hershey kisses in a jar. Katie Berry ' 87 of Center Grove and Doug Paget ' 84- were the recipients of 820 Chi- Chi gift certificates which were given away as door prizes. Student Council was in charge of the dance as they were every year. President Doug May said, I thought the dance was a real success because Student Council was interested in it, and they worked hard on it. I was very proud of it. Other Student Council members headed various committees. Kelly Shearin ' 85 was in charge of tickets, Jan Fitzpatrick ' 84 and Suzanne Adams ' 84 took care of publicity, and Mindy Oldham ' 87 and Buck Small ' 85 did the decorations. Laura Hausbeck ' 86 was in charge of serving refreshments, and Tammy Kibby ' 86 did clean-up. The dance was designed for everybody and not just for couples. The dance was considered an all- school activity, and students came so they could see their friends, enjoy music, and experience the Christmas spirit. Dress was casual in accordance with the atmosphere. Debbie Brehob felt that it (the dance) was good because a lot of people were there and usually at dances there aren ' t very many people. Crepe paper bells and streamers add to the spirit at the Christmas dance. Ion Bolen ' 85 and Linda Smith ' 84 seem to be all alone out on the dance floor. Doug May ' 85 relaxes from his duties as president of the Student Council to dance with DeDe Spence ' 87. Andy Short ' 87 and Laura Pierce ' 87 talk with friends at the Christmas dance. 40 CHRISTMAS DANCE

—— — imrn i nwi i Indiana is Eye of Storm Waves beat against houses along California coasts. sion While Indiana experienced one of its mildest winters in years with no snow at all, the rest of the country was the extremes. El Paso, Texas, otherwise known as Sun City, had a record of 29 inches of snow since November. Daytona Beach, Orlando, and West Palm Beach shivered through some record lows in the early spring. Fierce storms accelerated the ero- of many Cahfomia beaches. Homes that stood fifty to sixty feet from cliffs in Pacifica were in danger of falling into the sea. The system of storms caused 8203 million dollars damage in California. Sacramento recorded its wettest winter in a centry and numerous mudslides reportedly were blocking roads up and down rocks. Many words were used to describe the winter ' s weather, but duU certain- ly wasn ' t one of them. Hoosier Dome was the name submitted by Todd Kemple and chosen from over 50,000 entries (photo by W. Strange). Domed Stadium Gets a Name . . . Finally Expecting parents generally have a tough time deciding on the name for baby, but that ' s nothing compared to the confusion that surrotmded the naming of the not-yet completed domed stadium. Todd Kemple, 21, submitted the idea of Hoosier Dome for the name and was selected from more than 50,000 entries. PE MacAllister, president of the Capital Improvement Board, said the name Hoosier Dome was chosen because there was no other place where it applied. Todd won 8500 in prize money and free tickets to all events in the staditmi the first year it opens. Later however, officials reopened the idea for the name saying it was imsuitable. The name Indy Dome was then submitted. A vote was taken by officials between two names. Hoos ier Dome again came out the winner and remained the name. The 78 million dollar domed stadiimi adjacent to the Convention Center held 63,000 people and imight become the home of pro- fessional football as well as major lea- gue baseball franchises. ■In 42 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
