WE LI. HAD HE FEVED AND WE DID DANCE ALL NIGHT! With the finesse of John Tra- volta and Olivia Newton-John, the Warriors filled the Com- mons with twirling bodies in ac- tion, spinning and swaying to the music. The first dance of the year was the Howdy Dance which gave Warriors a chance to meet each other after the vacation period had ended. Other dances included the FCA, Thespian, and the Homecoming Dance. Warriors had the chance to get down, boogie, and disco to their hearts' content with dances like the Freak, the Dip, the ever-popular Hustle, and the old standby the Bump. With chairs and tables put away, the Commons became larger than life. Decorations, de- pending on the event or the theme of the dance, were hung from the ceiling, the walls, or the lockers. At the beginning of every dance when the disc jockeys rolled out the favorite records, everyone hesitated to be the first on the dance floor. But soon, as the night progressed, there were dancers every- wherel I. There is a show-off in every crowdl 2. We only wanted to meet some new friendsl 3.
