Soft pretzels, knockwursts, polka
dancing and plenty of beer highlighted
the first-ever Novemberfest.
The Resident Student Council (RSC)
sponsored this gala festival which
brought out the dancer in all of us.
Thursday, November 20,1980
Direct from the Arthur Murray School
of Dance were Thomas Eurick and his
lovely partner Sandy Pierce, both in
structors. Their main job was to get the
crowd off their "buns," and on to the
dance floor, for a time never to be
forgotten.
Last Tuesday was a night for the
students to put their studies aside and
enjoy themselves at the Novemberfest.
The music was strange to some people,
but -- face it, folks -- polka music is fun to
dance to.
Kathy Ryan, who was constantly
seen dancing, said, "The Novemberfest
was the best organized event I've been
to this term. I had a super-fantastic time
dancing the night away with my partner
Dave."
When it came time to give dance
instructions, Tom and Sandy provided
the necessary lessons. For some stu
dents who had two left feet, these
lessons were very helpful. But for those
lucky "Fred Astaires," the lessons were
a quick "brush-up" on polka dancing.
When there were no more girls for
partners, Sandy Pierce was even danc
ing with the students, mainly basketball
player Ron Hunziker. There was no
stopping the students once they started
to dance. Another couple tearing up the
dance floor were Rob Russell and Ruth
ann Bryner. This writer was very much
impressed with this couple; their com
munication and total concentration with
each other made it appear they had been
practicing. Could it be another dance
team starting? Next thing you know
they will be making movies!
Overall, it was a splendid evening
and one to remember. A special thanks
to the Polka Platters who provided the
sounds and inspirations, and to the SGA
Social Committee who donated the mon
ey for this event. Joe Bozik, secretary of
RSC, said that he was pleased with the
turnout, and all seemed to have a good
time.
The Novemberfest took over a month
to plan, but in four short hours there was
plenty of dancing, plenty of soft pretzels
eaten, plenty of beer drunk, and espe
cially, plenty of happy people.
Tish and David take it one step at a time.
