Dcince Kicks Off the Holicloy Seoson Holiday sparkle abounded as the Spirit Steppers hosted their second annual Merry Christmas - Happy Hanukkah dance, December 9. Panthers danced to the hard-driving rock 'n' roll of Short Change, a favorite at dances. From 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., the Blackstone Hotel was the scene of festivities, as couples danced and conversed. Spirit Steppers decorated the room with wreaths inscribed with the names of the couples attending. The dance achieved an air of distinction with Paschalites parading in semiformal dress. A good time was had by all attending the dance. l 2 i We're iust old fashioned girls at heart. Billie Young and Angela Malick stop to get something to drink. Two, please, but hold the onions.

Panthers show a traditional pride during the fifties' day pep rally, Paschal students enioy the disco dance after the final football game of the season on fifties' day. J Nyfiiil f ' ff ' - llrl , 'V l Mt 'msn 24 V ACTIVITIES The Spirit of the Fifties descended on Paschal for the last football game day of the year. Panthers dressed as cool cats and slick chicks. Bobby socks, duck tails, saddle oxfords, and leather jackets dominated the scene, producing the effect of the l95O's. A uni- que enthusiasm raised at the pep rally encouraged two varsity cheerleaders, Jeff Howard and Jerry Schroe- der, to carnivorously swallow live gold fish. Spirit was successfully produced as Paschal, in its closing game of the season, routed Poly. Following the game, stu- dents rock'n'rolled at the dance in the cafeteria, spon- sored bythe cheerleaders and PSOP. So this is what the roaring 50's were like. Swingin' chicks Madge Stengle, Julie Allen, and Susie Chilton exemplify the dress of the fif- ties. : xiii' 3' euavvl

This college sounds great but the idea of an all-women university just doesn't appeal to me. Scott Kennimer and Traci Chipman study pamphlets in the counselors' Seniors Prepore for the Future Progressing through their senior year, stu- dents were faced with important decisions about the future. Many students realized the impor- tance of continuing their education. With the counselors' help, students were guided in the right direction concerning their college careers. Numerous college representatives visited Pas- chal to inform seniors of the wide variety of opportunities open to them. Customary admis- sions tests, the SAT and ACT, were taken by a large portion of the senior class who hoped to score high enough to get into the college of their choice. The class of '78 planned and carried through their ideals in moving ahead towards the future. sq, lf- ' N i ., 'W xl, 1 , , Does this mean I have to cut my hair?
