Decorations for the Prom, in colors of blue and green, consisted of sea scenery. Mermaids, sea horses, glowing center- pieces, and assorted underwater scenery added to the theme. The throne consisted of a 10-foot clam shell, and the main decorative attraction was a fourteen-foot lavendar octopus. Music was provided by Commodores, a four-piece dance band from Rhinelander. Since the music was not all rock or jazz music, the public took a greater interest in the Prom, with many adult couples participating. The Prom lasted from 8:30 to 11:45 and approximately 90 couples attended. King Tom Hardzinski and Queen Cindy Westphal reigned over the dance. Other members of the court included senior attendants, Doug Hintz and Diane Putnam; juniors, Steve Thompson and Alice Petlock; sophomores, jay Wocelka and Stephanie Hecimovich; and freshmen, Robert Hogue and Cindy Hilgart. Members of the Junior class in charge of the organization and planning of the event were Gail Bukolt. Jennifer Lucas, and Don Neeck. 8
