Paradoxical Prom A 2nd Time Hit With toilet paper streaming down from above (and laying below), old newspapers strewn about the floor, and dead flowers placed on tables in the cafeteria, approximately 150 couples danced the night away on Friday, March 23, at Northrop ' s second annual MORP. The MORP, which was sponsored by the senior class, was everything the PROM wasn ' t. The idea was to do everything back- wards. First, the girl asked the guy to go. If he said yes, they figured out what they would be wearing. Then on the night of the MORP, she took him out to dinner to the cheapist, scummiest, most lowdown place she could find (if they could stand it), and then off to the dance they went. Once there, couples found the com- mons looking a mess, girls dressed like guys, guys dressed like girls, couples wearing identical outfits, and couples dressed in the shabbiest or most outra- geous clothes they could possibly find. WMEE disc jockey Tony Richards sup- plied the tunes and a photographer from Watter ' s Studio was there to take pictures of couples who wanted them. Free pop and chips were available in the cafeteria. One of the chaperones, Bob Walleen, commented, It looked like everyone was having a lot of fun. Sometimes that ' s not the case at school dances, but this one was different. Instead of having a queen like the PROM, the highlight of the evening was the crowning of the MORP King. Senior John Bohn snatched the crown, and had a court consisting of seniors George Dunn, Scott Hankey, Brad Reinking, and Andy Ribar. It was the best thing that could have happened to me, said Bohn. I can ' t understand the sudden popularity ... I feel like a Cab- bage Patch Doll. I just wonder, he ad- ded, is the MORP King a soveriegn monarch or just a meaningless figure head? written by Tiffaney Davidson.
