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

$unsational Summer- Pre-Summer Prep-up! School offically opened on August 31. So — what was this mass of 150 kids who converged on Beall's surrounding fields as early as August 15? Everybody had been to camp. And everybody was anxious to show his stuff. Spirited cheerleaders attended the NCA workshop at Hood Col- lege in Frederick. In the short, four-day peri- od, the girls were up at six o’clock, chanting and cheering through- out the day. New pom pon rou- tines and sideline cheers caused aching muscles and ringing ears. “It all paid off, for we earned a third place award on the first day,” com- mented JV Cheerleader Donna Cutter. Butoneawardwasnot enough, as their pep and spirit carried them to other outstanding performances and two, first place ribbons. Adding something new to the halftime perfor- mance, the enlarged 13- member Flag Corps and the hard-working majorettes, led by Fea- ture Twirler Melinda Si- vic, combined their talentstomake Meet the Squad Night a suc- cess. “All that you can do at attention is blink, breathe, and exist,” yelled Jeff Jablon.

Classes lasted from 9 A.M. until 9 P.M., but usually the girls spent their after- noon breaks and half the nights, working on copy and designing layouts, while others par- tied in the halls. By the end of the week all five girls found themselves more than ex- hausted, but it didn’t stop any of them from celebrating at the Toga Party held on the last night. The summer after- noons sometimes reached the 90° marker, but everyone gave his all. For it was the pre- school days, and it was time to look toward the new year.
