DANCES IS EXPENSE A PROBLEM? Hey are you going to the dance tonight? Are you kidding, I can't afford it. Inflation hit the school in many ways and formal dances became less attended as the cost of such activities became more ex- pensive. Students found alternative things to do that cost less. Going to the show. dragging main, watching T.V. and eating were some of the ways kids escaped the expense of formal dances. Dances held after wrest- ling matches or basketball and football games were more attended. These dances didn't cost much to go to and the good part was you didn't have to bring a date, take them to eat, or pay for flowers or pictures. When students were asked their feelings about dances there were many different responses. Several of them are listed below. If you make them fun, they are fun. They're great when you're with someone you like, but otherwise ... I don't care. Boring. 'Too expensive. 'They need to be built up more, so more people will want to come. With mixed feelings about dances and whether or not expense is an issue, dances go on, excitement for them builds and students are heard asking, Are you going to Sweetheart Ball? Jeff Drollinger, Melanie Anderson. King Jerry Allred, Queen Lori Hanchett, Diane Wood, and Pat Jenkins reign as Sweetheart Ball Royalty Keith Larson and Cali Oscarson eat at the Veterinary Clinic for Sadie Hawkins. Most Preferred are Matt Horrocks, Darrin Caldwell, Greg Clark, Mike John- son, Jeff Drollinger. 24 Dances For Authentic Jewelry and Art — UTE INDIAN TRADING POST

CHRISTMAS - Brings Out The Best In All Of Us Although Santa stayed away this year. Sophomores tried not to show their dis- appointment while the rest of us buckled down to raise our Christmas spirit. Throughout the week be- fore Christmas, Utes wore their under wear out for Long John Day, brought money for home room par- ties, and exchanged pres- ents with friends and class- mates. Mr. Giliman brought the season to life by hanging his tree from the ceiling and de- corating it with test tube babies. Mr. Jameson, Mr. Rob- bins, and Miss Daley won ten dollars and a gallon of ice cream for having the best decorated rooms. In the annual Christmas assembly, Accapella sang carols, and the band performed a med- ley of Christmas songs they had been working on since October. Mr. Caldwell told his Christmas story, and Hi- Lites did numbers they have been doing at Christmas parties and other organiza- tions around town. Every- one was surprised when it was announced that the Senior Singers would be performing, but when they flashed us their Christmas message, our expectations were fulfilled. RKG's sponsored the Christmas dance, but added a twist only the Ramblers could think of. Utes were taken on a Christmas cruise on a mock up of the Love Boat complete with gang plank, swimming pool and Kathy the Bartender. Stu- dents were asked to come as tourists, and many showed up in sunglasses and bermu- da shorts. The lack of snow at Christ- mas was more than made up for in the week following New Year's. 26 Christmas For the best and latest in motion pictures — VERNAL THEATRE
