Gliosties Grlioulies ... C C t was awesome!” Ex- I cellent!” Great!” The .A. best party I’ve ever gone to!” Can we do it again?” These were the enthusiastic replies seniors gave when asked about the Senior Masquarade which was held on the Friday night before Halloween weekend. The day before, a handful of seniors decorated the music room with a good many orange and black balloons, paper witches and pumpkins. The rest of the seniors were frantically trying either to rent a costume or make one themselves. “The best party I’ve ever gone to.” The party really seemed to get into swing after the parents of tin soldiers and butterflies had vanished with their anxious cameras. The students obviously enjoyed the evening tremendous- ly when they refused to stop dancing. Sodas were quickly snatched, then drunk while dancing, food was forgotten and almost everyone danced non-stop from eight to twelve o’clock pm. 14 Senior Masquarade TOP: Funniest costume.

. . . Things That Go Bump In the iVlglit In fact, there was so much food left untouched that on the following Monday afternoon sen- iors trotted up to the music room again to devour the cake and cold cuts they were too busy to notice on the night of the masquerade. Halfway through the night senior polls were announced and cheers and squeals of delight echoed throughout the brightly lit music room while winners were congratulated by well meaning friends. Toward the end of the dance, prizes were awarded to Roberta Blake (most original), Donna Macina and Soraya Mendez (best couple), and Maggie Perez, (best disguise). Two persons’ tickets were also snatched from a hat and awarded $5.00 each as a door prize. Not only were the costumes and dancing successful but social ties were strengthened by the extraordinary night. One senior said “I wish we could always be this close - people who were usually distant were suddenly very warm and friendly to me.” Another said, “Couldn’t we have been like this all four years? It seems we’re just getting to know each other - let’s have one more year after this!” ■ 16 Senior Masquerade
