No class realizes how much work the prom is until they have finished. A theme has to be picked, decorations ordered, and volunteers. It took the class of 86 a couple of weeks to decide, on ALMOST PARADISE as a theme. Green, pink, yellow, and orange were chosen as the colors to accent the theme. These colors gave the gym a certain brightness. The traditional freshmen, punch and food servers were Maureen Schlageck, Leann Standiford, Laura Rasmussen, Eloise Solem, Kathie Gruszie, and Chandra Zarn. The junior class provided grass skirts for them to wear, since they added to the paradise theme. The first band selected cancelled out. Fortunately it was early enough to choose another, Border Line, who agreed to sing the theme song, Almost Paradise. Arrangements were made for senior Karen Chapman to sing the theme with the band. The movie selected for the evening was Red Dawn. After the movie ham, eggs, fresh fruit, cinnamon rolls and juice were served. The mothers of the junior class prepared and served this breakfast. The 1985 junior-senior prom was well organized and enjoyed by everyone who went. The fashionable dresses were off the shoulder with hoops. The guys chose predominantly silver tuxedos with shirts to match their date's dress.

If you happened to be at the annual Halloween Dance, you would have met everyone from Boy George to a couple from Hawaii (grass skirts and lei's included!). If you happened to be at the annual Homecoming Dance, you would have seen a bunch of down-to-earth high school kids rockin' out and generally having a good time. Welcome to a Chinook High School dance! There's a slight charge at the door, but it is a small price to pay for your evening. Whether you bopped to records spun by DJ's or whether you boogied to the beat of our dance band, you were guaranteed a great time. The Sophomore-sponsored Snoball Dance, Sadie Hawkins style, was the major semi-formal dance of the year. There, the classy traits showed up in those same CHS students you met earlier. The guys donned their dress slacks and ties to go to this one, and the girls got dressed in their party dresses. There were no doubts that your experience at a CHS dance would be a good one: one to look forward to before, and one to remember with a smile after it was over. Just remember this: A dance is a dance, but when you dance with a CHS student, you boogie. So what are you waiting for? Let's boogie!!! 16
