Oh and do you remember "Louie, Louie"? I was surprised when my son's class used that as their processional walk at their graduation. Can you believe that? It was great! And they danced the walk!

Martha,
It seems like there was a lot of controversy over that song. When we were growing up didn't some adults think that it was dirty because you couldn't understand the words? (those people are probably rolling over in their graves today) I recently heard on one of the radio morning shows (an oldies station) that some principal had refused to let the band play Louis, Louis at something because it was "too dirty"

I think you were there when Eddy Wilson got in those dryers... So funny, but dangerous..

Had to laugh at the band's name. I wonder if that's where the movie title "Napolean Dynamite" originated. heh heh.

I remember the Sugar Shack, in the old skating rink. It was a fun place to go and dance. I remember the dances at the elementary school and the Prom and Sadie Hawkins dances at the high school. I've seen mention of Teen Town, but I don't remember going there. It was on the base? Anyone have any memories of it or any of the other dances?

Teen Town as I remember it was usually after a game. It was held in the gym at North Elementary. I think I only went once. All the girls would line up along one side waiting for a boy to ask them to dance and all the boys were milling around getting the courage to ask the girls to dance.

You're right Kathi, I remember running into the bathroom and hiding when any guy looked like he was coming my way! What a kick.

I sure wouldn't run now. Ha ha, they would.
