            Friday May 22, 2015 was the 13th annual disco daze for freshmen at the high school. Freshman Kennedy Varisco participated in the event.
            “I dressed up as Farrah Fawcett because she was a hair icon, and we have similar hair styles,” Varisco said. Many of the students dress up as icons from the 70s and went down to the choir room with their US History teachers to participate in a disco, with lots of dancing and decor.
            “Dancing on the floor was my favorite part. All the iconic dances from the days of disco,” Varisco said. Students get to participate in Disco Daze every year, even if they are not a freshman. Students prepare in advance by learning all the dances that they will do during the disco.
           “I thought it was so much fun, I had a blast,” Varisco said. “I’d definitely do it over and over again to be honest with you.” Students learn how to do many dances including The Hustle, The Chicken Dance, and The Car Wash. Year after year, students have been dressing up and learning how to do these dances.
            “Dress up and actually get into the dances because you’ll have a lot more fun,” Varisco said to future freshmen. “You should be dancing rather than standing there acting like it’s not fun.”

Mrs. Goodrich is in charge of this club and actually came up with the idea. “We did it to uplift people after coming back from break,” sophomore Cassidy Oberbroeckling said.                 When asking other students what they thought of the idea, they responded with positive feedback. “It w...
