Einiiiilfiiin ts UARY . QQQQEIF brings fun to many All dressed up in suits and gowns with ruffles and lace. Or, maybe just a sportjacket and a skirt with a corsage. Although many couples had contrasting attires, the motive remained the same-to have fun. The big night was Saturday, February 21, from 8:00-11:30 p.m. It was at Club Olympia and sponsored by seniorstudent government members along with senior class advisors Stanley Crum and Linda Walker. Tickets were ten dollars per couple. Unlike other years, this was the first senior class to make a profit. Total earnings were S150. The money goes to specific projects. Any left over goes to future class reunions, said senior Jenny Potish. Even though the dance offered punch and individual desserts, many students took their dates to dinner. Before the dance we went out to eat-at the Great Wall, said senior Brad Heiser. Another option that many students chose was dinner at a dates house. According to sophomore Cindy Hopper, everyones QQ taste in music was fulfilled. There was a DJ who played records-all types of music, said Hopper. Although many of the students had an entertaining time, a lot of them agreed that it would have been better with more space. The room was a little too small, said freshman Angie Stoppenhagen. As the night wore on, the semi-formal atmosphere changed. Five students were caught by assistant principal Ike Doll either drinking, or in the presence of alcoholic beverages. We were suspended and banned from extracurricular activities for the rest of the year. However, there is a possibility that we can attend prom, if we are good, said one of the students involved in the incident. Although this incident may have cast a shadow on things, most of the students seemed to agree, the event nor their attire affected their motive-to have fun. Lori Slater- People Editor away.

That was true for some, but for others it was quite a different story. Many girls went without a date. Going stag was easier because you didn't have to worry about your date getting mad because you talked to another person or danced with them. I think I had a better time than if I would have gone with a guy, junior Sarah Hicks commented. There were a few mishaps that will never be forgotten, according to junior Tricia Burke. A lot of people went in limousines but ours was late. We had to wait forever, Burke commented. There were some special moments that will always be remembered, according to juniors Robynn Hohert and Mike Musgrave, the prom queen and king. Hohert explained her excitement during prom, 199999 ll E hi'Ei hhgffee Seeing everyone all dressed up and looking nice was fun. According to junior Mike Musgrave, his election to Prom king was a nice perk. It doesn't give you any power or anything...it was just real flattering. The after prom party at the Holiday Inn downtown had casinos, music, dancing, food and a pool for swimming from one until four in the moming. Some thought that the after prom party was even more fun than the prom. After prom was a lot better than prom itself. There was a lot more to do, explained sophomore Angela Sheetz. Fellow sophomore Cindy Hopper thought the same thing. The whole atmosphere of after prom was more fun. With the colors as blue and silver and the theme of Heaven in Your Eyes, the prom seemed enjoyable and a fun night for everyone who participated.
