Spotlight on new semi-formal dance weetheart Bal Some were dressed in casual Slacks and sportcoats and some wore dressy suits, but all possessed the bubbly atti- tude which helped to con- tribute to the success of the first annual Sweetheart Ball. The publication ' s depart- ment intention was to raise money for the yearbook. The Student Council joined the publication ' s department since this was a first time venture. The dance, held from 8-11 in the commons the evening following Valentine ' s Day was planned many months in advance by the two groups. Letters were sent by the editors of the yearbook and newspaper staff to in- form and invite all students of the school to the ball. This decision to invite all stu- dents to the dance was made when it was discovered that up until this year there was no semi-formal dance in which the underclassmen could participate. Pink, white, and red were chosen for the theme colors and four hours were spent after school the day before the dance preparing the de- corations. The next day sev- eral people returned to the school to put on the finish- ing touches for the dance; only to find all the 250 bal- loons that were blown up the day before on the floor and semi-flat. With a spotlight on them the court consisting of six upperclassmen and six low- erclassmen were recognized during the coronation cere- mony of the dance. Rod Melton and Maria Og- nenoff were crowned king and queen of the dance while Trish Harrington and Mark Werling were crowned princess and prince, respec- tively. The newly crowned people and their court then danced to a special song played by The Feel. The court was a nice idea since males previous (to this dance) were only elected to one court, prom, in which you had to be an upperclass- men, said senior court member Charlie Clayton. ' It ' s the beginning of a new tradition. Everyone agreed that the dance was well worth the effort. SWEETHEART BALL
