Sock
Hop: Truly an Aquatic Adventure
Students Go All-Out For 2006 Sock Hop
By Chris McElhatton
Saturday, April 1 was not
only a day of funny pranks and practical jokes, but was also a
night of fun and dancing.
Students arrived at Valley Christian dressed according to the
theme, Aquatic Adventures. Looking out across the crowd,
people were seen dancing in crazy costumes. Some dressed up as
swimmers, others as killer whales, and one couple even dressed
as King Triton and Ursula from the Little Mermaid.
The uniqueness of the night was not just limited to the costumes,
though. For those more shy students who didn’t enjoy dancing as
much as others, there were other things to do. Inside the small
gym were both a Playstation 2 with Madden playing, and an old-school
Nintendo 64 with Mario Kart.
Video games aside, dancing of course was the main event of the
evening. Students from all four grade levels found their way to
the dance floor. From the Cha-Cha Slide to No Doubt to oldies
from Earth, Wind, and Fire, there was a huge variety in both song
types and dance styles.
Both administrators and students saw the dance as a success, as
it was fun and had relatively few problems. Many students were
afraid that the dance would end up being boring and dull, but
it proved to be a fun-filled night, full of dancing, games and
fun for all who attended.

Battle Cry Calls for
All to Stand
Thousands of people crammed into a crowded stadium with rain pouring
on top their heads. People just outside the wall have banners
and signs protesting the very presence of those inside. A scene
like this is intense.
This was the backdrop for the Battle Cry stadium event in San
Francisco. Among the thousands of teenagers attending the concert/worship
event were dozens of Valley Christian students. Freshmen, sophomores,
juniors, and seniors all came together for two days of meeting
with God.

Spiritual Emphasis
Week
Imagine trudging through a swamp waist deep with nothing
to guide you but your compass. It is night, and you have to use
your instincts to find your way to a marked point. For speaker
Darrin Crowder, he has met many similar challenges
such as this when he joined the army.
Crowder came to Valley Christian the week of March 27 to share
his message with the students of how to separate “what the world
tries to say to you vs. what the Bible is trying to tell you.”
