DANCING • • • To dance: (According to Webster’s Dic- tionary) -to move the body and feet in rhythm, ordinarily to music -to move lightly, rapidly -rhythmic movements to music -rapid movement In other words: (According to Rogers stu- dents) -a wild, wriggling, frantic way of jumping around in some sort of rhythmic frenzy to music Dancing is a way of just having fun. For a lot of students it may be one of their favorite pastimes. According to Amy Rus- Cousins Trevor Kelley and Megan Russell dance the night away. It is easy to tell Brett Morton is head over heels about the music at the dance. — 2$ — student life sell. Dances offer a place to gyrate your body in a series of motions that, done anywhere else, could get you in trouble.” Rogers students were lucky to exper- ience many dances. The Homecoming dance for example, was a popular event and attracted many students including current students and alumni. There were also Halloween and Valentine’s Day dances, along with after the game dances. Many clubs found out that dances were an easy way to earn money. They weren’t a lot of work and they made substantial amounts of money. The Catalyst staff worked over 40 hours to make $300 for running a Coke booth at the Octoberfest. Sponsoring a dance to make $300 was so much easier and more fun,” said Mrs. Basquez. Dancing is a way people can express their emotions. It’s one of the easiet ways people can relate to their feelings. Whether it’s slow dancing with a new love or jumping around to a favorite song, dancing can always get someone in a good mood and enable them to have a lot of fun. -Kathy Richter

PROM • • • On May 14. 1988 an amazing event took place. The students of Rogers High School were transformed into young ladies and gentlemen, and our gym was transformed into a tropical paradise. As couples walked into this tropical place, it felt as if they had been taken into another world, a world full of palmtrees. flowing water- falls. and beautiful music. For the 202 couples that attended this year's prom it was truly An Evening in Paradise.” Prom memories will always be special to junior Tom Blanton and senior Tracy Alber. Juniors David Niswonger and Jodi Taylor dance the night away. Sophomore servers Derrick Woods. Mike Hurt, and Joseph Hatchett wonder if they should taste test the food. 30 student life The formal affair took on quite a differ- ent atmosphere, as couples left the tropi- cal paradise and walked into Roger’s own version of Disney World at the Post Prom. Whether vour date for prom had big ears like Mickey Mouse, a voice like Don- ald Duck, a face like Pluto, the personality of Goofy, or maybe, just maybe, looked liked Cinderella or Prince Charming, they fit in perfectly at this years post prom, Disney on Parade. Everywhere there were Disney charac- ters. Parents were transformed into members of the Mickey Mouse Club, and the cafeteria was transformed into Cin- derella's Castle. Between the palm trees, the warm weather, the waterfall, and Disney, one could almost imagine we were all trans- ported to the warm beaches of Florida or California for An Evening in Paradise. -Kathy Richter-
