Nostalgic Prom theme commences with mass The 1980 Junior-Senior Prom was held Saturday, May 3. It got under way with a 6:30 P.M. mass at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Colon, with Father Paul York of Weston as celebrant. After the banquet, the festivities moved to the Neumann gym. Badger supplied the music for the nostalgic theme, “The Wild, Wild West.” At 11:15 P.M. the Grand March began and was followed by corona- tion. Brother crowned brother as John Hannan, the 1979 Prom King crowned his brother Tom, the 1980 King. Peggy Polacek was crowned the 1980 queen by 1979 Queen, Carolyn Thege. The first attendants to the royalty were Sharon Chapek and Mike Murren. Rustic scenery in the gym sets the mood for couples to dance to the music of the band, Badger.

Expectation of the lunch mod draws a variety of comments Expressions of a good joke show on the faces of junior students, Doug Kavan and Bob Hedges, as they eat lunch. Forty cents, please, says student council worker Marilee Ludvik to Shirley Stelnbach as Steinbach purchases two snacks from the peanut store. Can we go to early lunch? . . .Is the peanut store open yet? . . . What’s for lunch? . . . Single file, please . . . Charge it, Helen . . . Please stay out of the halls. Go to the gym, cafeteria, or outside . . . These comments were often heard during a Neumann lunch mod, the part of the day to which many students looked forward with eager anticipation. The lunch mod began at 11:52 a.m., however, those students who had an unscheduled mod prior to lunch were allowed to get an early start at 11:40 a.m. Due to a majority of students having scheduled classes, the lunch line was longer than in years past. Before, during and after eating lunch, one could find students and teachers engaged in a variety of activities. Students attending meet- ings, buying snacks at the peanut store, catching up on gossip and teachers gathering in the faculty lounge to charge up for the afternoon were just a few examples. Coooooo . . . With the sound of bell tone students dispersed, headed for their lockers and picked up the necessary books for the afternoon classes. In anticipation of the signal for classes to begin, everyone rushed through the corridors and into their classes, leaving the halls with an eerie silence. Chris Walla and Coach Bob Brandt take advantage of the lunch mod to discuss football strategy for that night's practice. 20 Lunch
