It was hard to do it, but the Class of 76 broke tradition in a rollroom. They voted to allow sophomores to attend the 1975 Prom with a junior or senior escort. Another tradition-breaker was the fact that this year ' s dinner was held in the Regency Ballroom of the Holi¬ day Inn in Harvey, Illinois. The room was lavishly decorated in pastel colors with the air of a spring festoon gazebo. Each table had a cen¬ terpiece with a pastel-colored candle. pastel flowers, butterflies, and other spring decorations. Mrs. Mary Jo Moudy was chairwoman for all of the P rom decorations. The highlight of the decorations was a fountain with colored lights shining on it. Near the fountain was a white bench with forsythia, peach blossoms, and other spring blossoms. We ' ve Only Just Begun was the theme of the Prom chosen by the jun¬ ior class. At the designated moment, Debbie Tippy and Mick Schlachter were an¬ nounced king and queen. After the crowning, the king and queen danced to the theme song. Everyone joined in to dance to the music of ' The Swing Machine. The day after the Prom, many cou¬ ples went south to Turkey Run, one of the traditional spots for prom- goers. Some couples went biking while others walked the trails and paddled canoes. When Monday arrived, some students came to school half asleep.
