Precious Memories linger in thoughts “Precious Memories” the 1982 prom theme, was appropriately chosen because many precious memories will remain in the thoughts of all who at¬ tended the dance. Friday night, April 23, an astounding 206 couples arrived at the formal occa¬ sion dressed in tuxedos and lacy evening gowns. Couples began the evening by sharing a delicious ham and chicken dinner. Later couples danced to the sound of Pawnz, a band who played everything from fast beat, popular rock to slow¬ p aced tunes. The king and queen candidates for prom had been previously selected at a special class meeting. At this meeting ten king and queen candidates were chosen. Their names were put on ballots and distributed to seniors in govern¬ ment and economics classes. The seniors then voted for one king and queen. Mrs. Donna Moser, prom sponsor, counted the votes. The girl who received the most votes was the queen, and the boy with the most votes was the king. The court consisted of the three runners-up in each category. The win¬ ners’ names were put in a sealed envelope and kept secret until the night of prom. Much to the delight of the crowd, Karen McMichael was crowned queen and Phil Wichowsky king. Keep¬ ing with tradition, the royal couple then danced to the theme song “Precious and Few”. Saturday, enthusiastic prom goers awoke sleepy-eyed to travel to various places. Some went to Indiana University for the “Little 500” bicycle race, to Chicago, and others traveled to Turkey Run to hike, canoe, and picnic.
