Choir helps us spend more time together since we don ' t have any classes togeth- er at school, stated Andy. But on the other hand, Ken- ny commented, Choir is so

Dancing, marriges and just plain ole ' fun were the ingredients for a good time at the Sadie Hawkins Dance. ADIE HAWKINS 1983 It only comes once a year. It ' s the time when girls really get to see how much it costs to take somebody out on a date. Yorktown High School ' s annu- al Sadie Hawkins Dance is the time when students can get dressed in their faded Levi ' s and matching shirts. The pace was changed more or less this year when students decided to go with shirts other than the traditional flannels. Once again the dance was held in the high school cafeteria on November 22. The Student Council sponsored the dance and furnished refreshments and decorations. The Hitchin ' Post was in the auditorium where cou- ples received a bouquet of dried flowers and an informal marriage license. The Marrin ' Sams were Superintendent Dave Hales and Dean of Students Keith Spur- geon. I thought it was great! I got lucky since I ' m a freshman and I got to go. Some of my friends didn ' t go, but they should have commented Freshman Heather Brinduse. The music was supplied by The Electric Dance Company, and students and their dates danced to the songs while they watched their favorite videos on the big screen projector. It ' s always better to have a DJ, because you can ' t always de pend on a good band. That way if you have a DJ, you have a gen eral idea of what you will be hear ing, stated Senior Shelley Duke Near the middle of the dance Sophomore Danny Flynn was crowned Corn King of 1983 Candidates in the running were Senior Eric Glaub, Junior Brian Retz and Freshman Scott Grasso.

A tune in your heart, a dance in your feet, and a little rhythem, joined together to make up Fall Preview 1983. much hard work, so when we do go to practice we don ' t get to talk to each other, But whenever we are together we always have a good time. Debbie summed up every- one ' s feelings by saying, Re- lationships should be honest and very special. Just like Da- vid and I. We are so lucky! Choir couple Debbie Snodgrass and David Hershey freeze in position dur- ing Fall Preview. Something to Sing About was the theme for the 1983 Fall Pre- view performance. The Tiger Connection, the Modernaires and Swing Incorporated en- tertained family and friends on Nov. 18 and 20 in the high school auditorium, under the direction of Mrs. Joanne Keesling. To put on such a complicated show, the YHS choral depart- ment rehearsed hour upon hour and spent many nights in the auditorium learning vocal parts and choreography. We began practicing the sec- ond week of school to be sure that we would have a good show, stated Keesling. The rehearsals lasted approxi- mately two hours each time. Keesling received outside help from a Ball State student teacher OMETHING TO SING ABOUT Carol Faulkner. Miss Faulkner was a great help in showing us how to devel- op style and discipline as well as in choreography, commented Senior Carol Cooper, Swing In- corporated member. After singing backup with the ever-popular group Earth, Wind and Fire, she signed a contract with NBC to sing the theme to a pilot Midas premier- ing this spring of 1984. Miss Faulkner finished her masters degree at Ball State Uni- versity before returning to Los Angeles to continue her profes- sional career. Miss Faulkner performed the song Superstition at the Fall Preview. The local group The Colors was the band who played for her. Something to Sing About fea- tured many solos including Sen- iors Bret Cook, Carol Cooper and a duet including Seniors Cathy Owens and Becky South- erland. They performed the song Take Me to Heart originally re- corded by Quarterflash. We were both scared be- cause it was the first time we had ever done a duet together. If I had to do it all over again I would. It was a lot of fun and we both enjoyed ourselves, commented Owens. Needless to say Fall Preview 1983 is one to be remembered. According to Senior Jodi Ben- nett, It was really good because there was such a variety of enter- tainment and everyone tdid a fan- tastic job.
