Prom goers share treasured dreams The 1983 prom theme “Dreams We Treasure,” coupled with the theme song “Just You and I,” provided a very special evening for over 200 couples. Tuxes with tails for the guys and hoops for the girls proved to be the popular style at th is year’s prom. A few extravagant prom goers had the pleasure of arriving in chauffeur-driven limousines. At 7 p.m. couples strolled into the Serbian Hall to seat themselves for dinner. During dinner a slide presen¬ tation, accompanied by the song “Freeze Frame,” was shown of students in various school activities. As soon as dessert was cleared away, the band Pawnz, making its third ap¬ pearance at Crown Point’s prom, got couples out on the dance floor for a slow dance. After dancing to many popular hits, couples headed for their seats to await the crowning of the prom queen and king. As the candidates were announced, they were escorted from their tables by students in the junior class. Queen and king candidates were Kathy Cain, Jackie McLaughlin, Susan McMichael, Kelli O’Hare, Todd Rosenbower, Tom Feder, Tim Lewis, and Rich Riddle. Ex¬ citement spread throughout the hall as the long-awaited moment arrived when the 1983 prom king and queen titles were given to Todd Rosenbower and Jackie McLaughlin. The crowning was followed by the royal dance of the king and queen to the theme song “Just You and I.” The evening came to a close but only at Serbian Hall. Parties, carriage rides through Chicago, and early morn¬ ing breakfasts were among the events following the dance. Rainy and windy weather the next day didn’t dampen the spirits of students for post-prom activities. Many couples made trips to the beach, Turkey Run, and Marriott’s Great America to complete their memory-filled weekend.
