Colossus Dance Paves Way For Additional Student Activities Plans for the third annual Colossus Dance were carefully mapped out by the annual staff early in January, and submitted to Mr. Byrd for approval. The dance was the first of the school year and highlighted student activities to that point. Students were on their best behavior and plans were quickly begun for other events for the remainder of the year. Music for the dance was provided by THE SEWER SYSTEM of Carrollton. Tickets were Sl.0O and ad- mission was restricted to Western students and their dates only. Pinatas and a spotlighted drawing of an Aztec god made by members of the annual and paper staffs transformed the cafetorium into the scene ofa Span- ish fiesta. Yellow streamers, a Mexican mural, and travel posters helped carry out the LA FIESTA ES- PANOLA theme. s-..., M AVTK I' KZ, 5fLI '-fI b'Wgw1 TOP: Musical entertainment for the dance was proviced by THE SEWER SYSTEM.
