Walking in a Winter Wonderland
The gentlemen stood nervously around the boy's dorm lobby talking about clothes and banquet conversation while the girls put the finishing touches on their hair. Finally, like an army of doomed men, the guys started out the doors to pick up their dates. The girls were standing in little clutches wondering about their dates when they saw the handsome men striding confidently into the dorm. The men picked up their dates and escorted them up the stairs decorated with poinsettias and sparkly snow. At the top of the stairs each couple paused for a picture before finding their seat. The dining room had paper snow flakes and fake snow on all the walls, and in the center of the tables were trees painted white. At each place was a Christmas tree ball with each person's name painted on it and snowflake place mats.
The first activity was electing the King, Queen, Prince and Princess based on their appearance. Elliot and Carli were the King and Queen and Dylan and Lexi were elected Prince and Princess. The meal began with salad and breadsticks and everyone was given the choice of knoephla soup or borscht.
For dessert there was whipped cream over chocolate wafers and topped with pieces of candy cane and everyone decorated a cookie for their date. After the couples finished eating and taking pictures they did the chicken dance with no music. The delightful evening ended with the movie It's A Wonderful Life, and all the men escorted their dates back to the dorm. - Elliot Way
