Sometimes it is hard to wait for Christmas to arrive. It seems as if it takes forever to get here. But, Christmas joy came early for Warren Central students. On December 12, 1987, the Christmas Dance was held in the foyer. Sponsored by the Rainbow Club, the dance was even more successful than last year. Senior Tracey Hambrite, president, said, Everybody really enjoyed it, even though we had a few problems.” Included among the prob- lems were speaker difficulty, and sometimes equipment failure. Music was provided by WEDM, and Tower Studio took pictures in the upper hall. Among the decorations was the traditional Christmas tree, over 25 feet tall and 15 feet wide. Said King Rick Bacon, “I couldn’t hear my name be- cause all of Eleanor’s fans were screaming. But, it was a neat feeling to know that peoopl e supported me.” The annual Christmas con- vocation was presented during activity period. Students were treated to a show put on by the six choral groups at Warren. A group of MCs put on a small skit in between performances, which told of Santa’s search for his “important” papers, which were just toilet paper. The convo built up students ' anticipation for die dance and the Christmas season. By Jennifer Eley We really enjoyed the dance, especially the beautiful Christmas decorations in the foyer. ...Uma Ellur and Joel Goode, seniors nder the mistletoe

Not to be defeated by underclassmen, the Seniors won the spirit chain. Also, clubs designed club sheets to boost morale. Student Council came up with a unique idea for floats. During half-time, “little red wagons” decorated by each class rolled onto the floor. Junior Marcus Rose- nau said, “It gave students a chance to have fun with floats and a chance to show their spirit and imagination.” Promoting school spirit, dress-up days gave everyone a chance to participate in the week ' s activities. Unique to Warren was “Mr. McNuttly Day,” named after Physics teacher, Mr. Dennis Mc- Nulty, known for his ugly ties. “It was one of the biggest hon- ors I have ever had,” he said.
