Sock Hop

Author: Libby Newell

On February 24th, Lamar’s elementary students and senior class danced the night away at the annual Sock Hop, which is a mid-20th century dance for young people. Each year, Lamar’s senior class has a sock hop and all the proceeds go to the senior class gift for the school. Everyone attending the Sock Hop dressed in poodle-skirts, leather jackets, and pink ladies’ wear to embrace the 50s and 60s style. There was a record number of tickets sold this year. All the proceeds go to the senior class gift.

There were also several games where winners received fun prizes. The elementary students played limbo and had a hula hoop contest.

There was a child and parent dance as well. Overall the Sock Hop was a great success that everyone enjoyed.
