Preparations had all been made: dresses bought, hair made perfect, make-up donejust right. It was al- most 6:.'5O p.m and everyone was ready to leave for the annual Fall Dance. The even- ing, held at Restland Farms, started off with a chicken dinner. What followed was a night ofdancing and fun. Some girls took a very special friend, while others went with a boyfriend. Most of the revellers enjoyed their evening thoroughly. I loved getting dressed up, said Maureen Mclieon. 'tlt was a fantastic night spent with friends. Debbie Holik enthusiastically agreed: I had a terrific time! Senior Holly Brandt thought Hit was a nice idea that 'Last Dance' by Donna Summer was played for the seniors, though it was also very sad. The music selection was good, and easy to dance to. For some, the Fall Dance was an excit- ing, but frightening new experience. t'For my first semi-formal dance, it was great! l really didn't know what to expect but ever- ything turned out fine, explained Moira Pascale. According to most of those who attended the dance, it had been a great success. The dancing, music, and laughter were still remembered weeks after the evening had ended.

Kristin MacDonald shared both Chelsea's interest and her point of view. Kristin also spent much of her time dancing and teaching dance to children three days a week. 'llt was very difficult at times, she admitted, but it's rewarding to see them on stage at the end of the year. Although some students were talented athletically, others found their strength in words. One such student, Adela Carbone, belonged to Amnesty International which required writing letters requesting fair treatment for political prisoners. These interests and activities were as di- versified as each individual's personality. ln addition to a student's schoolwork, her accomplishments in her oum local commu- nity were also important areas of interest and talent.
