4. Senior Pamela Warburton and her date Gregg Ad- dington enjoy watching other couples dance while they take a break. 5. After hours of decorating, the Moose Lodge is ready for the fun to begin. Senior Ball starts new party tradition Rainbow-colored balloons, bright streamers, tunes from the band Mystic Wine filled the Moose Lodge dring the Senior Ball. The Senior Ball had been an annual dance, but in the past few years it had become non-existent. Efforts of the Senior Class to start this tradition again had failed due to administrative difficulties. Hearing of their difficulties, the Lodi Junior Women's Club decided to try to revive the Senior Ball. The Senior Ball was a combined effort of students from Tokay and Lodi High, and a semi-formal boy-ask-girl. Because of the restriction to seniors, only 90 bids were sold, about one fourth of the usual sales. Students who helped prepare for the ball were Jill George, presidentg Christina Bahlke, vice president, Gayelynn McDaniel, secreatryg Michelle Blasl, treasurer, Stacy Markel, financial secretary, Dipak Patel and Del Lawson, decorations, and Nitsa Lewis, refreshments. the Moose Lodge during the Senior Ball 83

intricacies, music excite, entertain Stimulation seemed to be the key word for fads during the 1981-1982 inter- val. Complex puzzles, such as Rubik's cube, the Snake, the Pyramid, and many other variations challenged Tigers. Their countless com- binations gave way to only one intricate solution. Lunch periods and much free time were spent kicking Hackysacks, small leather, ball-like bean bags. Players booted these to one another, using any part of their bodies below the waist. Garfield, a cartoon cat created by Jim Davis, rose to stardom. His fat face ap- peared not only in the funny papers, but also on posters, book bags, T-shirts, pencils, and many more novelty items. Stuffed Garfields emerged with the increase of his popularity. Music became more sophisticated with the fur- ther development of Punk and New Wave sounds. They stimulated, rather than reposed, listeners. Portable stereo casette players, with their feather- light head sets, adorned a number of brainpans. Concerts were on the up- swing. Many top-name per- formers were billed at local and Bay Area pavillions. Among them were Britain's legendary Rolling Stones, who warbled at San Fran- cisco's Candlestick Park. ,,' ', , ' Y ,,' ,Wi 3.
