LOOK WHO SHOWED UP AT THE HOLIDAY DANCE! John Travolta and his date take advantage of a slow dance. The Holiday Dance was a big success this year. Celebraties flew in from Hollywood and New York to attend the festivities. This was the biggest social event of 1980 so EVERY-ONE was there. The disc jockey played a wide variety of tunes that pleased everyone from the disco queens to the punk rockers. Many West High celebrities participated in the festive evening, but. due to our starstricken photographer. pictures of these Westies were unavailable. Whether they appeared in print or not. all that were present had a wonderful time. What a way to start off vacation! Charlene Tilton of Dallas was having a blast! 22 The Cars cruised into the dance.
