Troy High School students (grades 9-12) may bring one guest to the Winter Ball Jan 9. Guests must be enrolled in high school or recently graduated (08 or 09), be under 21 years old, and be interviewed by Ms. Haaland and Mr. Ralston. The guest's reputation will be the determining factor in the decision to admit them and staff decisions are final. The guest is expected to be a 'partner' of the Troy student host and not simply a way to get in the door. The student host will be responsible for the behavior of the guest and be subject to subsequent disciplinary action. Guest tickets will not be sold until the guest is approved, and in no case will be sold within three days of the dance. (RALSTON)

Advance ticket sales in the auditorium at lunchtime for the Winter Ball. It will be held in the high school gym on January 9th. Prices are $8.00 for couples and $5.00 for a single ticket. The dance is semi-formal – no jeans. No skirts, no tennis shoes, guys need to wear button up shirts & slacks. Girls need to wear dresses. Contact Rachel Garcia or Ann Hines if you can’t get a dress – we know of some you can borrow (they are pretty). (FCCLA)
