Friday Night Excitement Continues Amidst air hanging heavy with the sound of teeth clenching in light ten- sion, hoards of amateur gamblers try their luck at ring tosses, Softball throws, and bingo games. The stakes are small, but so are the winnings. It ' s all in a Friday night in March at Northrop. The Junior Class Carnival has be- come a tradition, anxiously expected every year as a night of inexpensive fun. It earns money for the junior class and for the many clubs that operate booths. This year ' s carnival entertained over 600 people. As quoted in What ' s Bruin, Mrs. Stephanie Bourne, junior class sponsor, commented, Since the first carnival, many people have come and enjoyed themselves. That is a good thing to see. Most of the usual games and booths were back. The ever popular cake walk and sucker tree offered eatable prizes, while tiddly winks and the Softball throw offered teddy bears and spirit items. The jail became more realistic this year, as it was covered with orange paper, only having a small barred window for the innocent criminal to look out. Junior Lisa Bloom said, There were so many different age groups, from lit- tle kids of five or six to parents. Also, it ran very smoothly. You didn ' t have to wait long. According to Mrs. Bourne, the carnival did run smoothly, grossing near $200. Eighty percent went to the clubs and twenty percent went to the junior class for the junior senior Prom. Both a money-maker and a source of inexpensive fun, the carnival will hope- fully continue. The games and booths may change, but the excitement and fun will stay the same, written by Kim Simpson.

Victorian Theme Is Chosen For ' 84 Prom Prom night has always been one evening out of the year reserved for the imagination. Endless hours of planning have gone into making this evening spe- cial. Decisions range from the selection of that perfect dress and the coordi- nating color of the flashy tux to match, to the most exquisite dining place. Not only had a lot of time been put into the prom by about 500 students, but also by the teachers who all made it happen. As Mrs. Stephanie Bourne ex- plained, The junior class sponsors, Mr. Laslie, Mrs. Vonderlage, Mr. Richard- ville, and myself, along with the junior class officers and Mr. Brown, were mainly responsible for organizing the prom. This included decorating by Armstrong Flowers and arranging for refreshments. The atmosphere was chosen to repre- sent taking a step back in time with a Victorian setting including doormen, and music ranging from a live band, to records played by a disc jockey. Most couples danced a majority of the even- ing, only stopping for refreshments and the crowning of the prom queen, senior Vicky Stoll. The overall evening being named, We ' ve Got Tonight and the theme song, Hello , chosen by the student body, fit the evening well. The night was for many couples, a night of imagi- nation which became reality, and a night not soon to be forgotten, written by Lisa Bloom Left — Senior Todd Jacquay surprises his partner with a kiss during a romantic dance.
