SWEETHEARTS BALL They say Friday the 13th is bad luck, but believe it or not everyone that night at the Ambassador Hotel en- joyed the evening and didn ' t pay attention to the myth. The 1981 Sweetheart ' s ball, sponsored by the senior class, was held in the Embassy Room, which was an elegant salon for this event. Dinner was served at 8:00 p.m. and at the same time mellow music was provided by De la France a D.J. while everyone ate. Every table had its own waiter to be served upon, the dinner consist- ed of Swiss steak marinated in wine, green beans, mashed potatoes, and chocolate sundae for dessert. When dinner was over memorable pictures were taken for those sweethearts and ones to be. As the evening proceeded ballots were handed out for the choosing of the King and Queen. Thirteen girls running for Queen and thirteen boys running for King were presented, but as everyone knows there is only one couple who wins. The King and Queen of the ball as expressed by Ron Kendricks a young man with 13 letters in his name , Ruben Martinez and a nice young lady by the name of Beatrice de la Rosa were chosen. They danced to the famous song as sung by Tierra Together . Later on everyone joined in and moved to the sounds of Risque a D.J, The night came to an end at one-thirty a.m. after every- one had enjoyed and evening of dancing and romancing on this night of superstition everyone really looked forward to the coming of the next one. f: U .
