,l f SPARKLE TO VALENTINES DAY rimson hearts, flowers, and clover were the deco- rations forthe Sweetheart Dance held on Valen- tine's Day. The theme for the dance was Crimson and Clover. The queen candidates, nominated by the boys of the Senior Class, were presented to the student body the day before the dance. Students selected Barb Sul- lins as queen. At the dance held in the cafeteria on February 14, Barb was crowned queen by her escort, Mark Nlac- Farlane. Barb, active in Senior Council and Social Committee, was a member of National Honor Society for two years. Her attendants were Carole Link, Kris- tin Shutes, Debbie Smart, and Debbie Williams, who were escorted by Greg Camilli, Doug Beals, Dennis Parker, and Doug Spears, respectively. At the semi-formal dance, students danced to the sounds of the Goodtime lVlusic, a rock band from Denver. The atmosphere was intensified with a strobe light for psychedelic effects. Decorations followed the theme, Crimson and Clover. A wishing well was :onstructed in the center of the cafeteria, and glittery paper hearts and clover were hung throughout. Re- freshments were served by the Treasury Committee under the direction of John King. Barb's coronation took place in front of a brightly decorated throne. The queen and her court were presented with heart-shaped, engraved pendants as a remembrance of the event. Attendant Debbie Williams s 1 i A ttendant Attendant Carole Link
