WEEKEND After thoughtful consideration, John Wiese decided to make a big investment and go to the prom. Cathy Rutherford accepted his invitation. Two and one half weeks before prom, John went to get fitted, finally deciding on a white tux with a pink shirt. The total cost: S30.00. On Friday, John went to Bedford Floral and picked up Cathy’s nosegay for twenty- five dollars. Twenty dollars bought prom tickets for dinner at the Holiday Inn. Total cost for prom: $75.00. John went and picked up Cathy at 7:15. By the time parents finished taking pic- tures, it was 7:30, and they went to pick up Kevin Glasko and Lori Canzoni. Arriv- ing at the Randall Holiday Inn, the couple danced to the music of the Sabers, and ate a dinner of roast beef, baked potatoes, and green beans. At midnight, post-prom started in the cafeteria. Jasper provided the music until 4:30, when John and Cathy went home for a few hours rest be- fore Cedar Point. After accepting John Wiese’s invitation, Cathy Rutherford launched the lengthy preparations for the prom by buying a dress at the Limited. It’s price, fifty dol- lars, was steep, but the pink color was just what Cathy had in mind. With the major expense out of the way, shoes, a long slip, earrings, and a hat re- mained. The “trifles” totaled twenty- eight dollars, and a few extra dollars bought the boutineer. The total cost for prom night: $90.00. Dead tired, Cathy finally arrived home from Post Prom at 4:40. It was 9:30 when they were picked up by Kevin and Lori for Cedar Point. Between food, tick- ets, and tolls John managed to spend an- other thirty-six dollars. Exhausted, the group left Cedar Point early, arriving home at 7:30. Starting Sunday on wheels, John and Cathy went roller skating at Roller Palace. Finding a Kenny Kings, they picnicked on the Mayfield baseball field. Totaling the Post Prom weekend (with extra beverages included) it came to sixty dollars. Although Prom heads the year in major expenses, its excitement compen- sates for the time and money involved. Pam Moroz gives Randy Milani an adoring glance just after coronation, while Nancy Mor- rison, Randy’s sister Jill, and Pam’s nephew Ryan Matlock look on. 14 Activities Nose Gay Tux Haircut Tickets Food and Drink Canoeing Pictures Zoo Dress Shoes Boutineer Junior Tux Film

CHANCE A DANCE What would you rather do, dance or party? When this question was put to the test by the Sweetheart Ball, most people chose partying. The Valentine’s dance ran opposite a concert at the Coliseum and guess who won? This lack of interest in the dance was also a result of it having been a guy ask girl affair. Traditionally, all dances of this type have smaller attendances. Unfortunately, as a result, Student Senate suffered losses totaling S300. Another answer to the problem concerning dances and their loss of popularity is that alot of students cannot afford the high costs which ac- company attending one. The cost of the tickets, $4.00, along with a corsage, dinner, and extras produce a rather expensive evening. Sweetheart Court: Jerry Stoffl, Nita Pozar, Ken Kessler, Lydia Mackris, Jack Pilato, Debbie Tango Queen Sherry Howard, Bob Barrett, Patty Angelo, Rick Borowiak, Sue Erdos, Ed Estok, Cathy Rutherford, and John Wiese. Due to an accident, the sound of “Sabers” was not what was expected. The lead singer sustained injuries which prevented his performing. Rather than cancelling, a makeshift band consisting of one half Sabers and one half whatever combined to form a single group. Formal dances are becoming more and more obsolete, not only because of the cost, but because of a shift in student priorities. A big night out is no longer one of dining and dancing, but one of casual parties with a small group of friends. A beaming Sherry Howard and escort Bob Barrett reign over the Sweetheart Ball. Awaiting coronation, Jerry Stoffl and Nita Pozar share a few quiet moments. 16 Activities
