Bethanie Holland and Blair Arendt find that once you get in the swing of things, there ' s just no getting out. of Lollipops and Roses” Lollipops and Roses was the theme of the 1966 Sweetheart Dance, a Junior Class spon¬ sored activity. Both cafeterias were beautifully decorated as a valentine garden scene with hearts and streamers which added to the ex¬ isting romantic mood. Couples danced to- the music provided by two bands, the Newports, and the London Stompers. Highlighting the evening was the presenta¬ tion of the I 966 Sweetheart Court, which began at nine o ' clock. As each girl walked up the ramp, she was given a white rose. Mr. Volrath, who was assisted by Cupid, Darin Wilson, crowned Miss Nancy Brannock to reign as the Sweetheart Queen of 1966. At the conclusion of the coronation, the Court members, Karin Baeshore, Donna Brown, Jeanne Hunter, Susan Johnson, Pam Rittman, Liz Downey, Susan Ludtke, and Nancy Abt, were escorted to the dance floor where they danced with their dates to the Senior Class Song, Misty. The 1966 Sweetheart Queen, Nancy Brannock, reigns over a gaily decorated land of giant lollipops and twining roses. 27

and cheers of victory In the April I basketball game of the year, jun¬ iors were pitted against the mighty Class of ' 66. The starters for the victorious senior team, Pat Crowley, Larry Eldracher, Jim Jones, Lenny Mar¬ shall, and Steve Martin began racking up points seconds after the first tip. Some of Coach Dave Strong ' s anti-junior plays then rolled into action. Steve Kunkle could not wait to place one of his sneakered feet into a teammate ' s hand for a boost up to dunk . Later on, as juniors began showing a little competition, the upperclassmen decided it was time to reveal their ace —the Wild Animal. From then on, it was evident that junior Coach Dave Oliverio and his team would have to wait un¬ til I 967 for a victory. APRIL FOOL! Hey, you ' re going the wrong way, thinks Karen Matthews. A shuffle of feet, a wild grab for the ball, and another two points are scored. w ' - ■m t TAfeifsjiJ ' . f ' tW STUDENT LIFE 29
