Snow was melting, days were growing longer and West Valley students shed their winter garments and attended a wide variety of spring events. Heading the list of activities was the Sophomore's Sadie Hawkins Dance, which proved by its attendance that West Valley students love to dress down and have a good ol' footstompin' time. On April 16, West students seemed to go back in time to an era of bobby socks and poodle skirts: 50's Day had hit the school and old saddle shoes and sweaters paraded around the halls. A costume contest, dance and Volkswagen stuffing contest were just some of the memorable events that took place that sunny spring day. Easter brought on added excitement with an all-school Easter Egg Hunt. Grand prize for the lucky winner, Alan Coty, was a dinner for two at Clinkerdaggers, while other eggs contained gift certificates for the Munch Box, Co-Op Records, and Diary Queen. Have you ever wanted to dance until dawn? Twenty-five couples tried to in West Valley's first Dance- a-thon, sponsored by Student Council. Although twenty-five couples started out, only five participants had the stamina to boogie the whole twentysfour hours. The last 3 V2 hours was a regular school dance for all West Valley students to attend. Spring was an event treasured by all Fairbanks residents and West Valley students were no exception to the rule. Melissa Clanton, Dan McNelly, Mike Sims and Amy Owen sway in a much-needed slow dance during the dance marathon. 124 DANCE-A-THON THE DANCE-A-THON AND 50'S DAY LIVENED UP THE SPRING SEASON FOR EVERYONE V tv' '- -' Sophomores James Betts and Lynette Salak pace themselves for the many hours of dancing ahead.
