PROM '86 On Saturday evening, April 26, 1986, the Juniors said their Last Good-byes to the Seniors of '86. The theme of the occasion was Our Last Good-bye . The prom night began with a special mass at 5:30 p.m. by Reverend Gary Ostrander. Dinner was catered by the Imperial Steak House and served by sophomores Neil Ket- teler, Lee Ketteler, Gina Koch, and Lisa Thieman. The cake was made and decorated by Cindy Bode. The gym was decorated in two shades of pink, black and silver, and was accented by pink and black balloons. The dinner and dance areas were in the shape of irregular octagons joined along the longest edge. At 10:00 p.m., last year's Prom Royalty, King Gary Pelster and Queen Jeanine Ketteler, crowned Dan Knust and Sharon Wilton as this year's King and Queen. As the cou- ple danced to the theme song For Just a Moment from St. Elmos Fire , the pink and black balloons were dropped. Music was provided by Sounds of Your Kind of Mu- sic . 26 Elgin Drug Store Jerry Sheets, R.P Elgin, NE 402-843-5555
