School seemd to be offering little excitement. Students were lethargic; anyone offering any sign of energy or interest in a subject was peered at oddly by the others. Suddenly someone interrupted this monotony by shouting, “Winter break is only a week away!’’ The countdown began: five days left . .. four . . . three .... A buss of excitement stirred the air that Friday, and at last the Holiday Dance had arrived. The West cast was decked out in slinky dresses, polyester pants, boots, spurs, and other disco duds. The sound of jingling and drumming Disco played upon their ears. A few cries requested music of the Talking Heads, Cars, Stones, and other fiddle pickers but were drowned out by the Cowboys stampeding - West High style • across the floor. Girls gathered in little cliques, madly chatting while NONCHALANTLY waiting to be tapped on the shoulder. Starry-eyed dancers swept the floor, carefully trying not to scuff one anothers boots. The Holidays were on, and everyone vowed to live up to every minute of this last dance of the seventies. “How do I love thee?” 21 West High’s disco mama's

P. Schwob and B. Schlemmer got each other. You won’t get me. Snow was not to be found and below zero temperatures seemed to be a thing of the past. Still, the devoted Junior Board members pulled together their memories of those bright white Daze and set their brains rolling. A romp in the snow was planned for Friday afternoon and a D.J. contracted for the dance that evening. Monday through Thursday dragged by with no trace of snow. Finally, our prayers were answered; a flurry of white flakes floated to the ground just hours before the event. After romping, screaming, falling off their horses and soaking their chaps, the participants treated themselves to donuts and piping hot chocolate. The dance that evening wound up the entire week’s events with a blazing show of spirit. 23 Who’s got who?
