Jaguars stalk Southdale Hello, can I help you find anything special today?” This classic salespersons’ line was, more often than not, aimed at well-monied teenagers. Dollar signs flashed in the eyes of department store salespeople and mall shop proprietors when teenagers appeared browsing through the merchandise. For many students, Southdale was the source of their income and the place they spent it. The junior departments of the larger stores employed girls as salespeople. Other students worked in specialty shops on the mall like The Cookie Factory or B. Daltons, as well as the eating establishments on the first floor such as Eat and Run. When the work was done and the check came, students returned to meet friends and spend an afternoon at Southdale. Many shopped with a specific article in mind; some opted to feed quarters to the machines at Picadilly Circus. Others browsed in stores like Spencers and Roz, full of interesting curiosities. 20 • Southdale

‘Dance of Dreams’ Otriking workers at the Radisson-Downtown Minneapolis, and several other Twin Cities hotels, made the week prior to Prom one of uncertainty. The Prom Committees from Jefferson, Kennedy, and Lincoln were forced to find a location other than the Radisson by the scheduled May 16th date for the dance. Despite student disapproval, a decision was made to hold the 1980 Bloomington Tri-School Prom at the convention center of the Minneapolis Auditorium. As couples arrived, they were pleasantly surprised. An extra effort by the Jefferson Prom Committee, which was in charge of decorations, compensated for the switch. The floor was beautifully decorated to portray the Prom theme, “Dance of Dreams.” The controversy concerning the location was soon forgotten as students were caught up in the spirit of the event. Some couples danced to the “Big Band” sound of a swing band, while others were content to watch from the balconies. During the slow numbers, the well-lit dance floor was crowded, but no one seemed to mind. Still other couples preferred a quieter spot, away from the activities. 22 • Prom
