This is llCindy.” “You were sup- posed to call me an hour ago.” “I couldn’t call you ’til my sister quit gabbing to her boyfriend.” “Oh well, what’s up?” “You wouldn’t believe the guy that asked me out for Friday night.” “Oh really?” “Yeah, He’s a lust! A real good-looker!” “Yeah, I’ll bet.” “He is.” “It’s probably that really funny-lookin’ guy with the red hair and freckles that always tries to talk to you when we're on our way to seventh peri- od.” “He’s a jerk, isn't he.” “Yeah, I’ll say. He has enough zits to start an oil reserve. “Gross, you're making me sick!” “Well, it’s true.” “So, anyway, who is this Mr. Wonderful?” “Remember that good-lookin’ new kid with the shiny black hair and sad brown eyes?” “No, is he in our class?” “He’s the one that walks in front of us on our way to sixth period.” “The one with the nice “Yea, that’s the one!” “You’re telling me, and he’s taking me out!” “Well, where ya gonna go?

What a way to head into summer. The event of the year. A week of bright, sunny days had pushed the girls into backyards to catch rays, tanning their bodies for the bare shoulder look, so popular for special evenings. As guys rented cut-aways and tails, and girls purchased Gunni Sax, money and more money was spent. To curb cost, Sheri Keating and Julie Ridenour had their talented mothers make their dresses. But with the costs of the after-prom at ten dollars and flowers ranging from $5 to $20, everybody was still forced to fork out some dough. Many of the guys were broke for months, but it all went in with making the night the best ever. To help ease the purse strings, the juniors and seniors supported the prom by selling Christmas candy and ornaments. The class of '81 raised enough money to gain a free meal at the Lane Center and free prom admission. Footing their end of the bill, the juniors sold popcorn and candy cannisters. Because of the determination, Matt Bittner’s goal of 600 cannisters was surpassed by 976. After the buffet dinner, the Chinese Bandits tuned their instruments and settled into Cocaine. The group showed their approval by getting the hard-liners moving. “Doug Barmoy even boogied, so you know they were good,” exclaimed his date Carla Witaker. From the college to the country club, the mood stayed alive as prom-goers rocked to Full Steam Eddie and gambled with play money. Jaycee members mingled through the crowd and kept the “little Las Vegas” going until the auction at the close of the evening. Two days later, the latest alumni knew that the night had passed too quickly. After all the preparation, the Saturday prom faded to just a summer memory. 12 1 — Prom
