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. Romantic moments (top) were shared by many cou¬ ples on prom night. Abbie McLeod and Randy Linder (bottom) were crowned the 1981 prom king and queen.

mixm Bfltseisev Seniors celebrate, dance night away “Celebration time, come on! There’s a party going on right here. Let’s cele¬ brate! ...” These words from the song “Celebra¬ tion” by Kool and The Gang captured the mood of senior banquet as over 200 sen¬ iors gathered for one last time before graduation. The evening began with dinner, but dishes were quickly cleared away as eager seniors lined the dance floor and crowded doorways in anticipation of the dancing that was to follow. Before the music began, Mr. Jay Jones, vice-principal, spoke about the personality and outstanding characters of the class. He commented on favorite couples, curious events, and the year in general. Seniors joined in the fun, applauded, and pointed-out the victims of Mr. Jones’ puns and remarks. Afterwards the band Starbound got started, and for the rest of the night sen¬ iors jammed the dance floor. They danced to a wide range of songs from the popular “Whip It” by Devo to a slower “Three Times A Lady” by the Commo¬ dores. During an intermission in the dancing, senior gag awards were presented.
