76eef cUutcecC t6e ttcyJti atwuf. rom officially began on a warm breezy evening in late May, but the prom spirit began many weeks before. One hun- dred and twenty young men (or in some cases women) had to get up enough nerve to ask someone to accompany them. Tuxes had to be rented, and dresses had to be bought. The decision to take a car or limo had to be made. Flowers had to be purchased, and then of course, prom plans had to be thought out. When all this was taken care of, the couples arrived at Wicker Park Pavillion for a night of picture taking, dining, and dancing. The band Raven was accompanied by a D.J. One of the highlights of the evening was when Vanessa Swanson sang, Missing You with the band. As Ms. Draskovitch began to announce the 1985 Prom Court, the room suddenly became silent with a hopeful hush. The second runner-up was Lamber- to Cortez and Norma Enriquez. The first runner-up was a sur- prised Brian Brokaw, and Linda Nejak. And the 1985 Prom King and Queen were Tyrone Leggitt and Gwendolyne Dennis. For the next couple of hours the room was alive with fun, dancing and the traditional garter dance. The mood began to grow softer as promgoers realized it would soon be over. Couples slowly swayed to the theme song, On The Wings of Love. May 31st, 1985 was surely a night to remember. Taking pictures outside was a popular occurrence this year at prom as Julie Kosola and Annie Barney pose. Looking forward to an ex- citing evening, Darrell Richardson and Dawn Steel enter Wicker Park Pavillion. 6 Spring Prom
