Rainbow Club takes over Christmas Dance from Cheerleaders and has big success with record attendance Walking down the hall to the foyer, music drifted outward and a sense of excitement filled the air. Excitement of the Christmas season was felt by all those who attended the Christmas Dance. In past years the varsity cheerleaders sponsored the dance, but according to Ms. Cindy Taylor, There are too many sports events scheduled this year for us(the varsity cheerleaders) to have the dance. I was quite relieved when Mrs. Ludwig and the Rainbow Club offered to sponsor it. Music was provided by WEDM, and pictures were taken by Tower Studio. Festive decorations included the traditional tree, a new addition of lights strung across the foyer, foil and paper snow- flakes. The beautiful tree lights added sparkle to the dressy outfits of the dancers. Junior David Sweet, activity co- ordinator of the Rainbow Club, said, I was afraid of what people would think of the decorations. I ' m just glad people liked them. King of the dance was senior Keith Williams, and senior Tammy Huffman knew the excitement of the setting when she was announced Christmas Queen. Members of the court also included seniors Scott Dcnzio, Lisa Preston; juniors Steve BalUes, Kathy Anderson, Rick Bacon, and Tony Owens; sophomores Ronnie Huffman, Kim Weaver, Craig Bymaster, and Jessica Punches. Tammy said, At first I was surprised, ecstatic, and then sad.. .because I ' m moving. It made me realize how many friends I have. By Shannon Stone Captured by the romantic atmosphere, sophomore Jennie Berry and date share a slow dance.

Variety Show added 3pice and almost got too hot to handle with over 700 in attendance. The 1987 Variety Show was one fcM new beginnings and perhaps a threatened ending. This year was the first time prizes were awarded to the winners, and as a result of crowd disruptions, the threat was made that it could be the show ' s last year. The students in charge decided to try it, to give the Variety Show a new flavor, said Variety Show director Tom Feit, of the frizes. The acts ranged from clog dancing to hard rock bands. Five individual categories were included in the competition. First place winners included Craig McCormick in specialty acts. The Controllettes in dance, and Anita Hall in vocal music. The group Obsession came in first in the band competition, and the winner in comedy was Andy I ynch. The new flavOT was not planned to include so much spice though. Throughout the evening crowd participation ranged from support to ugliness. Over 700 people, twice the usual number, showed up to watch the many talents and cheer on their favorite acts. Principal Kenneth Brist said, We were not prepared for the number of people who were there, and we were short on teacher supervision. He cautioned that unless some changes are made to prevent the same behaviOT from happening again, there will not be another Variety Show. Overall, most students obeyed the rules, although a few cussed and were rude, said Director of the Performing Arts Center, Craig Thompson. By Bernedette Miller
