UNDER THE MISTLETOE The Student Council sponsored the born again tradition of the Winter Formal dance, which took place on December 19, 1987. Tables were turned when girls went through the mental torture of asking guys to escort them. The gym was filled with 3 hours of great music provided by rock radio station Z-95. Albums were given to energetic dancers and sweatshirts were sold. Couples were exposed to elite finger foods until, unexpectedly, 23 large pizzas arrived, provided by Dominos. Lovasko Studio was invited to take the couple’s pictures. Though this dance was a test of a girl’s courage and the students’ en-thusiam, the Student Council thinks Whiting passed. This will be one test students will want to take again. These future models pose for their adoring fans. I really wanted a tape , exclaims K. Render. B. Adams holds on “tight to E. Miller. 10 “Hey, Barbie, it goes like this...! says J. Gaal.
