Prom isn’t merely “All That Jazz” Prom this year was not without its problems. Sponsors were hard to come by but finally Mrs. Candace Becher and Mr. Chris Dixon started the show going and preparations began in late February. The theme. All That Jazz, based on the Academy award winning movie, was chosen. A raffle raised approximately $980.00. Mrs. William Birkel won the grand prize, a portable color TV. On the Friday night before Prom about 35 hard-working juniors decorated the gym from after school until midnight. The various committees (headed by Kurt Armstrong, Doreen Augspurger, Sara Dixon, Lisa Doh-men, and Tami Potter) made their own party atmosphere as they played music and ate pizza while working. The big day, April 19, finally arrived. The doors opened at 9:00. Couples were greeted by a twinkling New York skyline and a huge top hat out on the dance floor. Then, alas, problems once more struck as the band. Phoenix, had power difficulties and had to start over three times. Finally, the black cloud that loomed over Prom disappeared and the couples boogied down. At 1:00, the party was over and everyone went their separate ways. Some went to parties, others to breakfast and some just went home. In the end, everyone agreed that Prom had overcome its problems and was a success. Waco Carpenter, Kearney, and Jamie McNair. Tom Sackett and Brenda Glur, and Steve Kapperman and Becky Wilson take time out to talk to each other Bryan Thalken and Mary Kunes seem light on their feet on the dance floor. 14 Student Life

Jaeggi Nyffeler crowned royalty Spring Royalty on March 7 was well received by the students at CHS. It appeared that everyone there had a good time dancing to the sounds of Columbus’ newest group, “The Recking Company. Instead of a Sweetheart dance, CHS Student Council decided to try something different by having a dance later in the year. The main reason behind this was the fact that there were no open weekends in February to have a dance. During coronation, Lyle Nyffeler, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Nyffeler, and Lori Jaeggi, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walt Jaeggi, were crowned King and Queen. Juniors Brenda Glur and Kelly Person and Sophomores Karen Miller and Jay Bullington presided over their classes as royalty. This dance, which had a considerably better turn out than Snowball, was considered one of the more successful ones by Student Council members. Sophomore candidates for royalty were Lori Dohmen, Lisa Bobert, Karen Miller, Teresa Kyster, Connie Micek, Sunny Sherertz, Jay Bullington, Rich Carmicheal, Corey Floren-do, Larry Jacobs, Troy Paben and Todd Thalken. The Class of 1980 candidates included Shari Dohmen, Brenda Glur, Polly Hadan, Karla Keeshan, Meshell McDowell, Heidi Sloth, Kurt Armstrong, Doug Becher, Tom Goc, Scott Goering, Kelly Person, and Gary Podraza. Senior royalty candidates included Joni Gutzmer, Lori Jaeggi, Judy Lassek, Susan Lloyd, Debi Rice, Kay Robinson, Rich Englemann, Mark Stock-man, Lyle Nyffeler, Craig Scheideg-ger, Terry Wilhelms and Dan Volnek.
