In pre- paration for the evening ' s festivities, an after- noon pep assembly was on the agenda. This con- sisted of a slam dunk contest which gave some students the chance to strut their stuff . Classes also got a chance to exhibit their agility and strength through pyramid building and a tug-of-war con- test. Coach Rich Risemas wound things up with a pre- game pep talk aimed primarily at the students. The more fan support we have, the better we ' ll do!

s tepping out in style ' Love is in the air is a phrase that seems to come to mind at certain times of the year, specifically Christmas time, Valentine ' s Day and, of course, spring- time. To celebrate these romantic events Memorial offered three formal dances. The Christmas dance provided an excellent opportunity for a guy to take that special girl out for a nice dinner followed by a little danc- ing. It was really nice going out for dinner, then to the- dance. I had a great time. commented Junior Brian Holtz. With the appearance of chocolate hearts dnpping with sweet sayings came the Valentine ' s dance. This time it was the girls who did the asking and the treat- ing. Fresh- man Wen- dy Berger remarked, I liked having a chance to ask the guy out for a change. Spring brought with it the biggest dance of the year, at least for juniors and seniors — the prom. Excitement was in the air that night. Juniors Alan Benninglield and Jan Williams could have danced the night away at the Valentine ' s dance. This dance gave the girls a chance to ask their favorite guy. Fruit punch provides refreshment lor Seniors April VanBuren and Katrina Schymik. Christmas cookies and mints were also available. 727
