Senior Frolics Due to the lack of snow this year, an alternative to the annual Senior Sledding Party was found in the all-new Senior Swim Party. These parties were held after hours at the U . of A's pool from 10:00 pm . to midnite . After a vigorous swim and a soothing sauna, a quick brunch of cheese and crackers awaited seniors and guests in the Nanook Lounge. Attendance was always high which always helped with the suc- cess ofthe big event. ,Html ' f 'f4,g..,,:: The first dance of the year was held by the Senior class on January 8th, The theme was Beginnings and was held in honor of the new arrivals in the school called Freshman. Normally this dance would have been held at the begin- ning of school except some minor problems re- garding the building completion delayed this . Although it was halfway into the school year, many Freshmen failed to attend because of the terrifying fear of being initiated by the Almighty Seniors. Thus, even with West Lathrop gradu- ate, Jeff Tyson, as disc jockey, attendance was lacking.
