mwmmue Boosters revive Valentine Dance An old tradition was revived during the school year of 1981. This tradition was to have a sweetheart dance on Valentine’s Day. The last traditional dance was held at Crown Point eighteen years ago. This dance was brought back by the Booster ■Club in hopes that it would again be an annual event at the high school. With these hopes, many decorations were made with members of Art and Booster Club helping each other. Six foot murals, made especially for the dance, had the popular theme of “Love is . ..” painted on them. A lovable couple was on them also. Cupids and hearts decorated the walls to add to the romantic spirit of the dance. The Valentine Day theme was empha¬ sized by the centerpieces on each of the tables. These centerpieces consisted of white, fluffy cotton surrounding red cups filled with candy hearts. Heart-shaped programs were given to each couple attending the Valentine Dance. The theme, “Say You’ll be Mine,’’ complimented the Valentine decor. Music provided by the band Flyte, ranged from ballads to hard rock. For the sixty-four couples attending, the Valentine Dance with its romantic atmosphere was special. Eddie Eaton and Debbie Metsch (opposite page top right) boogie to the sounds of Flyte.

LLLLi Prom attendance sets new record “We’ve got tonight. Who needs tomor¬ row? We’ve got tonight. Babe. Why don’t you stay?” This song was the theme of the 1981 prom. Prom night holds many special memories for everyone involved. A record breaking 187 couples attended the May 1 dance as well as 17 faculty members. The night was filled with merriment as couples danced to music of Starbound. This popular band played a variety of music from bouncing hard rock to the ever popular slow music. After dinner was served, the prom queen and king were selected. Nominees for prom queen were Sue Bennett, Sue Hiskes, Judith Lunn, and Abbie McLeod. Nominees for prom king were Kevin Beckman, Randy Linder, Dale Plants, and Geoff Slaughter. Abbie McCleod was elected prom queen and Randy Linder, prom king. The royal couple danced the traditional solo dance to the theme song of the prom. Prom goers spent the post-prom day at such places as the Dunes, Stoney Run, Marriotts, and Turkey Run.
