Bathing suits, sunglasses, bi- kinies, suntan lotion, towels, and lots of money were the down- right necessities for fun in the sun. Remember way back when the freshmen, who are now sen- iors, could not wait to roast in the blazing hot sun of Florida? Well, the moment finally came. Seniors celebrated one week of freedom during Spring Break 1984, in the action-packed state of Florida. This year, the vacation spot for most of the graduating class were places ranging from Fort Lauderdale to the beaches of Daytona. Hangouts on those hot Florida nights included The Caboose, The Other Place, Big Daddies, and the most popular, The Pier. The Pier was where every- body hung out. It was the most popular because they had a live band every night, commented Jenni Spears, senior. Most of the students who stayed in Daytona spent their week in Daytona Inn, or on the beaches nearby. The students who stayed in Fort Lauderdale stayed in the motel, The Baha- mas. The reason we decided to go ■ La uderdale was because if guys to girls is 6 to 1, commented Senior Lisa Heath. Many of the students left for Florida on the Wednesday before Wild-n-crazy seniors celebrated one week of freedom on Florida beach- es. A week of parties, dancing and great memories.

I wanted to call somebody so bad because I was used to having ten to fifteen people around me all the time in Florida, stated Scott Brassart, senior. Although many people cele- brated Daytona-style, some of the Spanish students, accompa- nied by Mr. Rocco Fuschetto, vis- ited places throughout Mexico. The students who participated were Sophomores Dan Jones, Karen Stringfield, Connie Bous- man, Chris Sullivin, Tom Hurley and Eric Jacobson; Juniors Kim Kimbrough and Lisa Delaney and Senior Stacey Applegate.

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.

That ' s Italian ' For 5 Senior Girls Mrs. Terry Nelson and a group of Yorktown students took a break from American ways and traveled to the Eu- ropean countries of Switzer- land and Italy. These coun- tries were toured during Spring Break 1984. The students who partici- pated were Seniors Amy Hammersley, Carol Cooper, Deena Bourne, Renee Wil- liams, Dawn Cooper, Diana Vise, a 1982 Yorktown gra- duate, and Toni Smalley, Mrs. Nelson ' s cousin from Los An- geles. Some of the cities toured in- cluded Verona, where Romeo and Juliet lived; the Leaning Tower in Pisa, Florence, and Rome, where the Vatican is located. In Venice, everyone thought we were famous bas- ketball players because we had on our matching Episode shirts. They asked ' You bas- ketball player? ' and we an- swered, ' Oh, yes, yes, ' com- mented Dawn Cooper. For entertainment, the group went to a disco called Space Electronic, in Flor- ence. It was fun because it was just like American Bandstand. It was also fun because it was funny watching how the other people danced. The Italian women didn ' t move much, but all us American chicks really brought the house down. stated Carol Cooper. In closing, Amy Hammersly commented, Europe was very, very good to me! Arrivederci per sempre! Anticipating their flight to Zurich Switzerland, are Terry Nelson. Carol Cooper. Renee Williams, Amy Hammersley, Dawn Cooper and Deena Bourne. Spring Break 2S
