The story · 1985

The story of Crepe Paper Snowball Dance

The science teacher DJed from two tape decks on a lunch table, and the student council covered the basketball hoops in pink and silver crepe paper. Boys lined one wall, girls lined the other. Then came the snowball: one couple started, and every time the music paused they each grabbed someone new until the whole gym was dancing at arm's length.

Fun fact

The fog machine set off the gym smoke detector so often that the fire department started attending as chaperones.
