Rock Around the Clock Pickwick Dance Club Recreates the ‘50’s for a Night
Pickwick Dance Club Members and their guests relived the ‘50’s recently with a Rock Around the Clock party. Greeting members at the door of the Mountain Brook Club, along with James Dean and Elvis Presley, were Pickwick President Jean Reed Woodward and party planners Trissy Holladay and Tricia Ford, with Jim. Partygoers began the evening with cocktails in the living room before the band started playing. Longtime friends enjoying the event included Garnett and Jim Baker, Marsha and Griffin Lassiter, Susan and George Nolen, Fran Fendley, Dottie Miller and Katherine Porter. Dressed for the party in their ‘50’s attire were Pat Houseal with
Bill, and Sharon Graham with Emris. Also attending were Jan and Jack Shannon, Patsy Dreher, Marion and Robby Nichols, Donna and Johnny Beauchamp, Mary and Henry Mellon, Fran and Rob Glendinning, Bootsie and Lowell Garrett, Beth and Rick Woodward, Nancy and John Bagby, Cathy and Jack Echols, Kelley and Pete Gage, Beverly and John McNeil, Ann and George Morris, Helen and Richard Pardue, Jane and Jack Shalhoop, Beth and Bill Gunn, Elizabeth Meadows and Prince Warnock, Dana and Tommy Norton, Sara Beth Blair, Lind Burks, Ann Vrocher, Cathy and Bill Moss, and Vicki and Charles McGehee. The club was decorated with pho-
tos from the ‘50’s, and memorabilia was placed in the photo booth, along with a white sport coat and hot pink bomber’s jacket for those who wanted a period look. The tables were covered in black tablecloths and pink toppers with a black and white checkered square on top. Each table was centered with 45 rpm records and an ice cream soda made of carnations. In the center of the sunroom was the serving line for hamburgers, hot dogs, coke floats and ice cream sodas, manned by servers wearing soda jerk hats. Once the band, the Pink Cadillac, started playing, Bimi and Blair Cox, Jenny and Jeff Fowlkes, Margaret and Bobby Agnew, Allison Morgan, Lindsay Cook, Lock Hunter, Gail and Alan Howle, Molly Bradley,

Elvis impersonator Johnny Beauchamp sang and entertained the group by throwing red scarves and glow light rings to his adoring fans on the front row. An emergency fire drill vacated the building briefly, adding to the excitement of the evening. But, returning to finish the party were Sarah and Mike Clemmer, Barbara Jean and Griffin Langston, Sharon and Emris Graham, Gail and Alan Howle, and Candy and John Lindley. ❖
