Assemblies provide a break Adding a break and variety to the school day were various assemblies held during the year. The sports assemblies were held to give recognition to athletes, coaches, and cheerleaders. The drama depart¬ ment presented two programs which included excerpts from ‘‘Don’t Drink The Water” and ‘‘Damn Yankees.” When the crew of the La Salle II expedition came to Crown Point, they stopped at CPHS for a special presen¬ tation. The group provided entertain¬ ment and information in the form of songs, stories, and skits. The final assembly was given by the CPHS Jazz Band.

Balmoral Woods Inn chosen as 1977 prom site “The Long and Winding Road”, a song originally released by the Bea¬ tles was the theme chosen by the class of 78 for the 1977 prom. The prom committee began working on the prom at the beginning of this year. Members of the prom committee included juniors Mike Jarboe, Tina Pelton, Melanie Milosh and Maria Rid¬ dle with the aid of Mr. Joseph Stanko- vich, the junior class sponsor. Together they decided on the Bal mo¬ ral Woods Inn in Crete, Illinois. After the prom site was chosen, the junior class began running a conces¬ sion stand at sports events to help absorb some of the costs. They also collected class dues and charged $17.00 a couple for prom tickets. In selling tickets, a problem arose. Balmoral Woods Inn could only accommodate 350 people and there were nearly 500 students who were eligible to go to the prom. The juniors sold tickets on a first come basis and only 200 tickets were sold including the chaperones. The Hall had two dance floors and the music was provided by the band White Rye. A roast beef dinner was served on location. Rick Westgate and Linda Niepokoj were chosen the prom King and Queen. As favors the junior class gave coffee mugs to the guys and bud vases to the girls.
