Castles arise at the Snowball Dance Will there still be a dance? That was the ques- tion racing through the minds of concerned stu- dents. The weather had caused school to be can- celled once already during the week proceeding the dance. The dance wasn't cancelled and was sponsored by the Student Council on December 18. Proceeding the grand finale - the dance - was a spirit week, also sponsored by the Student Coun- cil. Students participated in Punk Rock Day, Mum Day, School Color Day, and Cowboy and Indians Day. The Snowball King and Queen and their atten- dants were chosen by placing money in their jars. Coins counted for the couple and paper money counted against them. The freshmen at- tendants to the Snowball King and Queen were Brian Woodfine and Kim Shrewsbury. The soph- omore attendants were Brad Sparks and April Radtke. Kevin Bearden and Paula Brown were chosen as the junior attendants. The senior can- didates for King and Queen were Lloyd Brown and Kim Flowers, Tony Ferrari and Tammy Rob- erts, and Jeff Dean and Debbie Hofmann. Jeff Dean and Debbie Hofmann were chosen as the Snowball King and Queen. The theme of the dance was Ice Castles and the gymnasium was decorated accordingly with icicles and castles. Hanging in the middle of the dance floor, the Stu-Co. hung a mirror ball which was one of the main highlights of the evening. The band? Marsyus, featuring original rock songs provided the music. April Radtke, Kathy Benefiel, Sue Beard, Kim Yonkman, Michelle Yonkman, Chris Cotten, and Rita Diefenbach participated in Punk Rock Day. Kim Hunter and Todd Livingston dance to the music played by Marsyus. SZTSnowball Dance

It's purpose then was to perform with the Marching Band, but now it has grown into a squad that adds color and entertainment to football and basketball games as well as pep assemblies.
