Dances for all Seasons No snow was falling, not a HO HO HO was heard and it felt Tike a warm summer evening instead of a cold winter night. But the Seniors overcame these obstacles and on December 20, Nightlife from Staunton kicked off Christmas Dance, 1980. A Christmas tree in the center of the gym provided atmosphere for the dancers, and the mellow music of the band kept every- one swaying to the music. As all good things come to as end, so did this, and the Christmas Dance of 1980 became a sweet dream. February 14, the day when both young and old alike show their emotions for each other, also brings about another event in the minds of students. As Valentine's Day fell on a Saturday this year, it was the per- fect setting for a dance. The Sophomore class gave us one to be remembered, as couples danced their heart out to the music of Denver's Disco. The crowning of the royal couple, Randy Chittum and Patti MacGregor, added to the evening's festivi- ties. Gorgeous decorations and good food acd out the fun, making the Sweethearts Dance of 1981 truly a night to be remembered. Renee, who are you dancing with? 8 Dance e Missy, What’s the secret for having a great time while everyone else is bored?

Prom It was one of those perfect nights that come very seldom in a lifetime. The Juniors spent many long hours preparing for it. Seniors waited anxiously to see if Prom 1980 could be bested. They werent to be disappointed. On May 23, 1981, Seniors and Juniors arrived and entered through the back door of the gym. They walked up a stairwell festooned with clouds and stars. Upon arriving at the top of the stairs, they were met by Sophomores disguised as angels, and Seniors were given their favors. Strange floating aparations drifted by and one wondered if they were indeed in heaven. The band, Top Flight, launched into song and Prom 1981, “Stairway to Heaven” was under way. Stars and clouds decorated the walls, and dancers decorated the floor under the canopy. The perfect evening lasted for four hours, and when everyone drifted away to parties and friends, they spoke of this Prom as being one of the best yet at Rockbridge. 10
