Fun Frolic The colors of Christmastime — joyous red and green deco- rations, silver and gold orna- ments, floods of black dresses, and white snow-covered side- walks. Well, three out of four isn ' t bad! This year ' s Christ- mas Dance was held at Union Station on the snowless night of December 21st. There were many changes in the dance from last year and most of these were greatly ap- preciated. I liked how we got pop instead of punch and the DJ was awesome compared to the band we normally have, said senior Kathy Roumell. The recently renovated Union Station also proved to be a great improvement. Union Station was definitely the best place for the dance, said senior Rachelle Anthes. It was a nice Christmas atmo- sphere. The decorations were gor- geous. They were very tradi- tional and not as tacky as oth- ers, commented junior Kristin Barrette. Most students appreciated the open dinner policy. It was great to have the freedom to eat where we wanted and where. I was afraid we ' d have to eat dinner at the dance like at Prom last year! said junior Lorilynn Hoffman. Junior class moderator Mrs. MacDonald commented, Stu- dent behavior was exceptional at the dance, but a lot of stu- dents had trouble with reserva- tions and got caught up in the Christmas crowds at restau- rants. The feedback on the dance itself was sensational. It was fun if you made it fun. The mu- sic was great. It was just a mat- ter of getting my friends to dance! said senior Jennifer Todd. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and everything went better than expected, said Sean Quinn, junior class treasurer. In retrospect, Howie Lanser, junior class secretary, summed it all up: What really made the Christmas Dance work were the people who came. We had such a positive response. It was a great way to start Christ- mas break . . . and my date wasn ' t bad either! Let ' s Dance! Anton Rivera, Barb Ku- lesia, Doug Plencner, and Erin Carey soak up the music and atmosphere of the Union Station. Oh, how cute! Snugglebunnies Kathy Roumell and Kevin Quinn cuddle for the camera.
