Pink and blue accent prom ’81 As 1981 prom goers entered the Crags Lodge on Friday evening. May 22, seniors began to realize just what the theme said, “We May Never Pass This Way Again.” For the first time in many years, prom was held on a Friday night. This caused some dissatisfaction among a few students, but after the dance began there seemed to be no complaints. From 9 p.m. to midnight, dancers were entertained by the Borderland Band, a three-piece ensemble from Greeley. The band’s stage was decorated with light blue and complemented with pink and silver accents. Sponsored by the junior class, the 1981 prom offered a sumptuous table filled with hors d’oeuvres ranging from tropical fruit to cheese balls. Crowning for the 1981 prom royalty was held at 10:30. King candidates included Matt Coale, Kevin Smith and Scott Stetson, while queen candidates were Karen Dermody, Martha Kemmer and Karin Westman. King Smith and Queen Westman reigned while escorts and attendants danced to the theme song. Escorting the queen candidates were juniors Regan Cheney, Roy Johnson and Nicky Kane. King escorts included Angie Coale, Jenny Godbolt and Regina Lord. After-prom began at 1:30 a.m. to the sound of Japetus, a three-man band from Denver. The Rock Inn hosted the 1981 after-prom. This location is usually a 3.2 percent beer bar for the 18 and over crowd. This fact caused some controversy because of its reputation for having alcohol. But. no beer was served after midnight and a sheriff and guards were posted at the door to prevent gate-crashers.” This was sponsored by the senior class. A STAR IS BORN.
