Prom 80 returns to Serbian Hall with “All of My Love’’ theme Prom 1980 was an event that will not the night of April 25 and friends infor- only serve as a lasting remembrance for seniors attending their final high school dance, but for everyone involved. Following tradition, the junior class organized the many different aspects that make the Prom something special. Plans started in January with the selection of the St. Elijah Serbian Hall as the dance site. Next, the band “Passage” was cho¬ sen to provide couples with dancing entertainment. Then, several themes were brought up and the final decision was reached by a class vote with Led Zeppelin’s hit song “All of My Love becoming the 1980 Prom theme. As the weeks drew nearer, that “some¬ one special” was asked to attend. The enjoyable task of finding a new dress was begun for the girls while the guys waited to rent matching tuxes. With the weeks turning to days, flowers were ordered and the excitement set in. Approximately 100 couples arrived on mally gathered at tables. After Geoff Slaughter gave the Welcome and Bene¬ diction, dinner was served. Eventually, the tables were moved and the decorated dance floor was made ready. The group “Passage” then began their music. Throughout the evening, couples took time out so Root Photographers could give them a lasting memory in pictures. As the evening progressed, dancing was stopped for the introduction of the Prom King and Queen candidates. The envelope was opened and Queen Barb Clark and King Mark McQuen were crowned. They were joined by Joyce Ecrement, Celeste Elfstrom, and Cara Maloney in the Queen’s Court; Brian Gra- den, Charlie Mangan, and Dan Plesac in the King’s Court; and the rest of the cou¬ ples in the theme song dance. For the seniors, Prom 1980 was a suc¬ cessful conclusion to their “dance life at Crown Point High School.
