Night
on the Red Carpet, With the Dads
Father Daughter Dance 2006
By Brittany Brinkman
The Father-Daughter Dance
was a night to remember. Saturday, March 11 was not just a normal
evening for fathers and daughters; instead it was an evening of
eating, dancing, and enjoying each other’s company. The dance
was a lot of fun and the Leadership class did a great job throwing
the event.
The lovely father-daughter couples glided into the elegantly decorated
gym to begin their star-studded night. Senior Alx Bear
said, “I must say everyone looked dashing entering the awards
show on the red carpet. There were so many celebrities I was overwhelmed.”
As the guests arrived they were able to fill up their drinks and
be entertained by Casablanca playing on the big screen. The evening
began with everyone lining up for a delicious Italian buffet served
by the Leadership class. As the guests dined, they were entertained
by sophomore, Scott Cody, while he drew names
for raffle prizes. These drawings went on throughout the evening
with prizes ranging from Jamba Juice and Starbucks gift cards
to movie gift sets and spa items.
After dinner, the enthusiastic d.j. started playing artists ranging
from the Black Eyed Peas to the Village People. The couples danced
the night away. Senior Sarah Henry stated that,
“the music was great, because they played songs that both dads
and daughters knew. My dad thought he was going to have a heart
attack, because the music was so upbeat.” Everyone enjoyed having
music from different eras, so the fathers were not totally lost
while dancing.
Another fun part of the evening was when Alx Bear announced different
awards to coincide with the award show theme. All the nominees
were brought up front and then the winners were awarded trophies.
Senior Holly Brown and her father were awarded
Most Creative Couple for their costume rendition of the white
witch and Aslan from The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.
Most Elegant Couple was given to senior Lindsey Huffman
and her father for dressing up like Scarlett O’Hara and a director
from the classic film Gone With the Wind. Senior Haley
Yoder and her dad were presented the Best Look Alike
award for dressing up like characters from Joe Dirt.
The last award for the evening was the Random Award, which was
given to a couple dressed as Darth Vader and Yoda from Star
Wars. Everyone looked great, but these couples definitely
went the extra mile with their look for the night.
The dance was a complete success by everyone’s standards. The
Leadership class did an outstanding job putting on this event.
All couples had a wonderful evening on the red carpet.

The Guatemala team traveled to Guatemala the week of February
17, 2006. Mr. Steve Torode as well as Mr.
Nathan Smith and Mrs. Lisa Moore accompanied
the students on their six-hour flight far away from home.
While in Guatemala, the group of 17 students helped to build the
roof of a schoolhouse. They went to San Antonio Nejapa, Antigua,
and Guatemala City. They also visited schools where they did activities
with children such as ball games and blowing bubbles. A favorite
game of the students that was shared in chapel was Shrimp and
Caramel. One person starts by saying shrimp, and the other person
answers back with caramel. Though the game sounds simple, it was
a way to get the kids involved with the students.

Student Experiences
the Grammys
For most students, February third was exciting simply because
it marked the beginning of the weekend. Valley Christian junior
Yuma Sung found the day exciting for other reasons.
Yuma was selected to play in the 2006 Grammy
Trio as a pianist, an honor that few receive, let alone a sixteen
year old. Staying in Los Angeles for ten days, Yuma had the opportunity
to play with many famous Jazz musicians and experience the prestige
of the awards show.

Theater Production Captivates Audiences
Valley Christian Theater’s spring musical, Oklahoma,
is one of its finest accomplishments yet. The authenticity, dedication,
and captivation of the audience by the performers brought people
back for more.
The teachers had their own opening night on Wednesday, March 15.
Their experience was that of astonishment as these were their
students acting and putting on a show that could not be done to
this quality even by those much older. Miss Julie Claypool
stated, “I thought it was really good, very adult. It was a great
romp all through Oklahoma!”
