Students ‘In the Air’ With Prom on 10th Floor “In The Air Tonight,” was the prom theme as students took the elevator up to the 10th floor of the Livestock Exchange Ballroom. It was held on April 29, from 7-10 p.m. “I thought Prom was great,” com- mented junior Jodee Pleskac, “I think it had a better turnout since it wasn’t at school.” This was the second year in a row that the prom was held off campus. Junior class sponsor Bob Bair thought the attendance was great as 288 tickets were sold. This topped the number sold last year, making the attendance the highest in recent memory. As couples arrived they got in line to get their pictures taken in front of a colorful hot air balloon, provided by Design-A-Time. Design-A-Time was hired to do the decorating. The music was provided by The Bedrockers. The five-person band’s lead singer was Ron Sorensen, a senior at Blair High. I thought The Bedrockers did a fantastic job,” stated junior Jennifer Kros. “They had a good variety of music.” Tickets for prom cost $10 a couple and those wishing to attend the post- prom party paid an extra $2. The first 200 students to purchase their post- prom tickets received T-shirts with “PPParty,” “In The Air Tonight” and “1988” written on them. The post-prom party, held at Dana college, provided games, movies and various prizes to all who attended. For many it ended a night of fond mem- ories. Sophomore Cyndi Wrighlon and junior Adam Riddle have their pictures take. Taylor photography took the couples’ pictures. Junior Nate Smith, his date, junior Chad Mann and freshman Mindy Clark dance to the music of the Bedrockers. A variety of music was played. 26 - Prom
