Juniors host ‘The Best of Times’ “The Best Of Times” was the theme for prom, which was held in the student center for the first time in the history of Estes Park High School, much to the disgruntlement of the senior class. The controversy of the prom’s location was bantered back and forth between juniors and seniors. The seniors finally agreed that it was better to have prom in the student center than not to have it at all. Prom decor was red and white, with silver chandeliers and streamers to accent the student center. A sign proclaiming “Paradise” was lavishly decorated and displayed to coincide with the Styx album cover from which the theme was adopted. Sponsored by the junior class, prom offered a festive table of refreshments ranging from cookies and pastries to fruits and cheeses. Prom-goers danced to the contemporary beat of “Kitten.” Candidates for queen were Debbie Campbell, Cathy Cotten, Janette Jacksi and Jill Nelson. Candidates for In preparation for the big night.
