focus on With city scenes as decorations, couples were given the feeling of being downtovim without ever having to have left the gym at 'Careless Whis- pers, the annual Girls' Club turnabout dance. Decorations included cellophane foil on the doors, skylines covering the bleachers, and a mir- rored ball hanging from the ceiling. We spent months working on the decorations, and I think everything came out really well, said Debbie Jania, gym decorations chair- man. For the second year there was a garter dance. Pink and white garters Careless Whispers, Clt scones were given to the girls be- fore entering the gym. They put the garters on and their dates took them off to the song, 'lStrip. The highlight of the evening was Frank Ratkus' coronation as King. After being croumed, Frank and his date, Sue Byrniarski, led the dance to the theme song, 'Careless Whispers by WHAM. 'tlt was really an honor being elected King. lt made the evening really fun and spe- cial, said Frank. A variety of refresh- ments and hors d'oeuvres which included finger sandwiches, cheese and crackers, and fruit punch were served to give stu- dents a needed break from dancing. Working together on weekends and after school to achieve the final product was worth the ef- fort. The highlight of tur- nabout was seeing the creativeness of the dance theme culminate into a beautiful atmosphere, said Mrs. Edythe Strater, Girls' Club sponsor. UThe city theme lent itself very easily to create a charm- ing, sophisticated back- ground. Leaving the city in the gym, couples headed to local restaurants to con- clude the special evening.
