Cfrom a sods-hop to the Pajama Jam, from the Charleston to slam-dancing? ...and my, how we've changed! Many dances were held at Southeast and each of them had a cenain theme. The Hawaiian Dance, Pajama Jam and Togo Dance were just a few. I think the themes are getting boring, senior Brian Hoffman said, theyre the same every year. But, Hoffman and junior Carol Muller said they would not want to have a dance without a theme. Themes are good...they re the purpose forthe dance, Muller said. Hoffman and Muller agreed they liked the dances because of all the people, but they said they did not go to a lot of them because there Ewasl something more ex- citing going on, Hoffman said. I don't like the music that's played, Muller said. According to sophomore Pat Piper, one of the reasons the dances were not that much fun was because people are afraid to dress up Ein theme costumel At the dances, Hoffman, Muller, and Piper said they talked and got into groups and danced. I talk and slam a little bit...and get into groups and jump up and down, Hoffman said. A Student Council dance was planned two weels before Prom. Eaton didn'twant Eusl to have that date...it really doesn't matter that much to us, said junior Susan Brown, Student Council member. Brown said the only reason the date was not the best was because Student Council was busy in the spring. Most of the Southeast dances were informal, but there were a few that were otherwise. Homecoming and Prom required more formal dressing, rather than pajamas or a lei. Another place Southeast stu- dentswent dancing was at Celebra- tion, which had Teen Night on Sun- days. Stooges was also a popular place forthe Knights on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday nights. -Kari Semmen ifrs CEILBRATE BOHED ON A FRID To get wild and crazy, many high school Dancing, romancing andjust plain socializing students spend a night on the town at Cele- Ofe OH POV' Of me 0fm05Phefe Of STOOQSS, bration. which is the hot-spot for many.

This wasn't the case with End of the World . The tone of the playwos a comedyfdrama. The play revolved around a playwright, Mike Trent, who was played by senior Ben Zink. Trent, who saw himself as a Mike Hammer type of detective and wore a trenchcoat throughout most of the play, investigated the arms issue. The play could have been considered autobiographical because playwright Arthur Kopit was commissioned to write this play about nuclear war. I decided to do this play because I thought it had an important script, said Carol Svobodo, supervisor and director of the play. It made people think about nuclear war, but it wasn't depressing. I liked how it approached the issue with humor. Junior Kristin Linder played Stone, the woman who wanted Trent to write a play about nuclear war. My character was hard to relote to because she had this fascination with nuclear war. I don't think we will have a nuclear war in my lifetime, said sophomore Lisa Keith, but the play kind of made me think about nuclear war and what it would be like. I thought the most important port of the play was in the third secene where Trent made the two discoveries, Svoboda said. Trent discovered the reasoning behind the nuclear arms race, and why he was commissioned to write the play. I also liked the part when Stone was describing the weapons and the nuclear tests she had seen, Svoboda added. I liked being in the play. said Steinauer. l'I'm kind of shy, so I wanted to see ifl could see ifl could do it. It wos a new experience and I met a lot of really nice people.
