TELEPHONES and televisions were luxuries some students had in their rooms. Jesse Ellis prepares to study after his phone conversation. MANY students experienced the need to clean their rooms eventually. Walda Louden clears her floor by shoving the clothes off of it into her almost empty dresser. WHETHER a simple radio or an elaborate stereo, almost everyone's room had something to pro- vide music. Brett Bennett chooses to play a compact disc over his cassettes.

In the swing of things Dances provide times to come together for good music and fun. Excitement was in the halls when a dance was ap- proaching. The closer it got, the more frenzied the atmo- sphere. Buying dresses, making reservations, order- ing flowers, and simply an- ticipating time to spend to- gether. Dates weren’t required at the semi-formal dances, but there weren't many in attendance without a date. With semi-formal attire be- ing worn, it was an opportu- nity for a night on the town. The dances were spon- sored by various student or- ganizations, student council sponsored the Christmas Dance, and the newspaper staff sponsored the Sweet- heart Dance. When a semi-formal dance was coming up it was well known and a much waited for event. Additional dances, after ball games or on a free weekend night were held throughout the year. These were also sponsored by vari- ous student organizations. Mika Craig stated, “It’s a change from just going to the movie or something.” Mr. Russell, in conjunction with student approval, is- sued a new policy. This poli- cy was stated so that all stu- dents would be in attendance within thirty minutes of the start of a dance. This was for the af- ter-game dances. It protect- ed the student body by di- minishing problems, it also providied opportunities for more dances in the future.
