Toga Parties
Toga, toga, toga! We had two toga parties. The first one was on New Year's Eve 1979. The second one was in the early 1980s.

This Toga Party was at Terri's house on Town Creek Road.
I think the men went along with the idea of a toga party thinking the sheets would come off after a while. That did not happen -- our toga parties did NOT turn into Roman orgies!
I made laurel wreaths for some of the guys.
We wore sheets, bedspreads, and blankets.
Before the party got going, we took a trip to Owltown Store for ice, cokes, and snacks.
Hambone, Joe, and I went into the store dressed in our sheets and bedspreads. People did not know what to think about us.
We laughed all the way back to Terri's house.
Janice and Joe
Terri had a pool table so we played that instead of horseshoes.
I took a picture of Blazer standing on the pool table but it disappeared sometime through the years.

I think she moved here from Florida. Anyway, Terri was a fun girl that liked to party.
Ronnie, better known as Poodle
Ronnie was dressed in a see-thru curtain but he wore briefs underneath. It was still a sexy toga.
This was the 1st Toga Party at Joe's house on Pleasant Grove Church Rd. It was New Year's Eve 1979.
Drinking liquor at the Toga Party
Joe and Darrell used an old Army blanket and a quilt as togas.
Janice and Pam
I used a floral sheet for my toga. Pam was still in her normal clothes.
Deborah, Terry, and Janice
We had a ball at the Toga Party.
Did you ever see Animal House starring John Belushi? That was where we got the idea.
Janice, Billy, and Deborah
We were all pretty wasted by midnight.

Randy, better known as Smiley
He held his toga up with a belt making sure it stayed put.
Amy and Sharon
Sharon always had long, blonde hair. She had a green sheet for a toga -- tied on tight with string.
The party was clean fun -- nobody had a toga malfunction, not even a slip.
Amy and Billy
Even Amy had a pint-sized toga.
