GEEK? On the night of March 18, a strange invasion occurred at Thomas Dale. The invasion of the Geeks took place in the cafeteria where the 1983 Geek Week Dance was to begin. This dance, spon- sored by the SCA, gave the females a chance to ask a favorite male out and to assume all the duties the role usual- ly has to offer. The Friday night dance was pro- ceeded by a week full of Geek activi- ties. The activities included Twin Day, a couple dressed alike; Bring Your Date Lunch Day, the girl bought lunch to her favorite guy; Ancient Geek Day, the student body was to dress like their favorite ‘‘ancient Geek’; Slave Day, the girl slaved all day for the guy and Super Geek Day where, of course, the students were to dress as their favorite ‘‘super Geek’’. At the be- ginning of the week, the participation was very good, but as the week came to an end the student body failed to participate as much. The dance though, did receive much participation from the student body. Although interrupted by the photographer, Cliff Elrod and Sam Warren continue dancing the night away. Swaying to the beat, many couples enjoy the relaxing tempo of a slow dance. 22 Geek Week

Another group which helped make this pep rally a success was the band, who played their competition music en- abling the school to see the talent of their fellow classmates. One last event which caused the students to continue yelling was the sundae contest between classes. Each class chose one representative, with the senior class choosing Steve Morris, the juniors choosing Kent Pond, the sophomores drafting Russ Gammon, and the freshmen forcing Tony White to compete for the spirit point. All contestants emerged with dirty faces and cramps, but Steve Mor- ris was the ill champion. Cheering their class representative on, the stu- dents found the ice cream sundae eating contest a success.

% The attendance of the 1983 Geek Week Dance turned out good, with the music of D-J Kevin Connors, from Q94. Although Mr. Connors did not play the top 40 hits most couples danced any- way. The SCA, taking a new approach to attract the ladies and gentlemen, held a contest between the classes. The prize, a spirit point awarded to the class with the best attendance, went to the sophomores. Even though this year’s Geek Week Dance was not as successful as planned, next year’s outlook promises to be even better. t ay ‘- a ‘2 % : More comfortable barefooted, many girls danced shoeless. © As the end of the night draws nearer, Rick Clark and Lorna Sawyer recap the evening’s high- lights.
