.m:.-.:.au :re-n. g.gN 24 Will it rain again? Where are you all going to eat? What colors are you going to wear? Do these questions sound famil- iar to you? If they do, you were in attendance at the 1980 junior- senior prom. The April night was filled with glamour and excitement. The girls' styles ranged from big hoop skirts to slinky slit ones, while the guys went from three- piece suits to tuxes, complete with canes, top hats, and capes. As the band, FEATHER, played the theme song, The First Time For Love, Karen James, junior president, crowned the king and queen, Jeff Davidson and Carla McDaniel. Over 350 people came to the prom, making it, according to Mr. Reinbold, the biggest and best prom ever. And, by the way, it didn't rain, after all. Taking advantage of a moment to sign prom booklets are Carmen Crace and Carmen Roberts. ! r 'a 1 '3!

,9 26 Mrs. Hunter would like to an- nounce that play auditions will be postponed again today be- cause of the weather. This was a familiar sound to many would-be actors and actresses who wanted to try out for the play. After many set-backs, Flowers for Algernon finally got under way. Directed by Ms. Karen Hunter, the play was billed as the Grand Opening of the new auditorium, since this was the first time invitations had been sent to various dignitaries of the town and the school board. There was a reception held after the opening night performance in honor of the cast, to show the public the new facilities of the drama department. David VanPelt, in his first theat- rical performance, played the starring role of Charlie Gordon, a retardate who becomes a genious. He and the rest of the cast got standing ovations after each performance. Quite a re- ception for the first serious dra- matic production at CHS in many years.
