Nights Are Forever With stars and moons suspended from a crepe paper ceiling, Turnabout’s theme, “Nights Are Forever,” was beautifully carried out. With inviting park benches and romantic music provided by “Felix,” no one would ever have guessed the mass hysteria that had tran- spired among the girls, one month before, as the annual dance approached, and they had to ask the boys to accompany them. Parties gen- erally preceded the dance — which lasted from eight to midnight — and dinner fol- lowed. Tri-Hi and Entre-Nous again spon- sored the event. The club members attempted to have the rules concerning who could attend the dance changed, but to no avail. That even- ing, however, no one seemed to mind as last- ing memories of “Nights Are Forever” were made. 1. A participant at Turnabout strikes an angelic pose for a special moment. 2.

Causing Trouble? At VHS, as in every school, there were prob- lems concerning illegal activities. Smoking in the bathrooms (as well as in the alley) and truancy were two of the largest problems. Al- though not much could be done about truancy except assigning detention and conferring with the parents, an attempt was made by the administration to combat smoking, which was especially bad in the girls' bathrooms. Mr. Ru- kavina met with the Student Congress to dis- cuss methods ranging from posting faculty members, to instilling a alarm. There was little actual vandalism this year, with the exception of a few broken windows and a stopped-up water fountain. But, there were several cases of firecrackers exploding in garbage cans and even lockers. And, as might be expected, there was quite a bit of drinking (despite the 19 year old law) which resulted in several suspensions from various athletic activities. 1. These unfortunate juniors are faced with fines for parking on the wrong side of 3rd Street. 2. Smoking in the alley at lunchtime and between classes is a favorite activity of some students. 3. A Bicentennial beer-drinking sign decorates a student’s locker. 4. This button reflects the attitude of many VHS students. ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES 23
