High Steppers Create Cupid’s Paradise Valentine's Day came early to West this past year, on February 9. as girls made boys the targets of Cupid's arrows. Retaining the basic format of a semi-formal to formal turnabout, the dance group sponsored the second annual High Steppers’ Ball. Eye-catching bulletin board posters and outstanding banners colorfully illustrated the group's creative ability. The girls devoted numerous hours of their spare time to convince the student body of the evening’s desirability. Striking decorations transformed the boys' gym into an elegant ballroom.’’ From 8:00 to 11:00 p.m.. handsome couples passed through a white trellis bedecked with bright paper flowers. Red and pink streamers and an elaborate fountain enhanced the formal atmosphere. The Rubber Band provided a variety of music for those in attendance. To obtain a lasting token of the memorable occasion, couples posed for color photographs, taken by Mr. James Marvy. Formally attired couples chat sociably with one another during a band break. High Steppers Barb Zellers and Mary Nudell ambitiously decorate for the big night. 28
