Romance from SOPHOMORE STEVE LETEN1CH at- tempts to make a free throw at post- prom to be eligible for door prizes. KELLY N1LAND AND her date Nick Reynolds trade tickets for favors with Mr. Lance Leach at the entrance of Shangri-La. the 1984 Prom. A JAZZ ENSEMBLE, composed of ju- nior class parents, greets the couples as they approach the entrance of post- prom. For Eost Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yashica are all definitely Japanese. The culture from the Far East has touched everyone’s lives from computers to the latest fashions. But, Japan has touched VHS in a different manner: not by the advanced technologies, but with the orien- tal flowers and romantic touches of Shangri-La. At the 1984 Junior-Senior prom, held Friday May 11, from 8:30-11:30 p.m„ Shangri-La fea- tured cherry blossom trees, Japanese lanterns and rickshaws to set the mood. Japanese ex- change student Irie Nakano helped create the setting with original Japanese touches. Shangri-La was created by j ' unior officers who headed prom. These officers were Missy Warheit, president; Greg Bannec, vice-presi- dent: Julie Henderson, secretary: and Debbie Kobak, treasurer. A car wash and a computer dating program, new to VHS, were the major money-makers for the Junior class. The money raised, approxi- mately $3500, was used for all decorations, favors, refreshments, and the band. Jubal, also new to VHS, was chosen by the officers to entertain the couples attending prom. According to junior class Sponsor Miss Ruth Williamson, about 270 couples attended the prom. Miss Mara Fiegle assisted Miss Wil- liamson as junior class sponsor. The Grand March was held at 9:30, led by Missy Warheit, senior class president Sean Gar- rett, and their dates. The balconies were open until the end of the march for friends and rela- tives to view the couples. Pictures, ranging in packages from $9-15, were taken by Giolas starting at 6 p.m. to avoid long lines. Postprom was held directly after prom at the student union of Valparaiso University. The theme. Southern Nights, was created by junior class parents, sponsors of the event. From 11:30 p.m.-3:30 a.m., students were able to dance to a band or DJ, eat from a buffet dinner, bowl, play games, get their fortunes told, or relax eating ice cream. Tickets were $12.50 per person and once inside, everything was free. Junior class par- ents, headed by Mrs. Arlene Warheit, Mrs. Diane Chilian, and Mrs. Judy Henderson raised approximately $1500 to cover all expenses, in- cluding door prizes. — Abby Huseman Prom Post Prom 23
