Photograph showing a bunch of people dancing in a building. They’re going around in a couple circles, facing each other and holding hands. Everyone is in formal attire. They could possibly in a gymnasium because there are basketball hoops on the walls. In the background of the people dancing is a windmill and huge tulips on the wall. Part of the Loggers Supplement 1972.

Photograph showing many people dancing in a gym all dressed up. It seems to be the Sadie Hawkins Dance from 1959. There are streamers hanging from the ceiling, chairs near the edge of the wall and a table with chairs and people gathered around it in the distance. All the people at the dance seem to be in highschool as they don't look too old or too young.
