landless love Prom holds special memories for couples With a theme of Endless Love and what seemed like myriads of balloons. Prom 1986 had a romantic aura. The 218 couples that attend¬ ed found themselves cap¬ tured in a fairy tale setting. At approximately 6:30 p.m., couples started to ar¬ rive at the St. Elijah ' s Serbi¬ an Hall. Some were even lucky enough to be chauf- feured there by limousines. Girls arrived with their hair swept back and pinned with baby ' s breath. The most popular colors of dresses were pink, white, and other pastel colors. Some girls were daring and arrived in such colors as emeral green, deep purple, and royal blue. Guys arrived in tuxedos of which the most common colors were white, black, and grey. Before the dance officially started, couples had their pictures taken by Spasoff and got acquainted their other couples at their table. The evening officially start¬ ed at 7 p.m. By that time couples were welcomed, the prayer was said, and dinner was served. After dinner, the band Pawnz spurred ev¬ eryone on to the dance floor with a slow song. In the middle of the even¬ ing, the Prom King and Queen were announced and danced to the theme song Endless Love.

The decora¬ tions at the ' 86 Prom added a roman¬ tic atmosphere to the school year ' s biggest event. who attend pley and Julie DePasquale were chosen Prom King and Queen by fellow classmates. After the prom, many couples journeyed to Chica¬ go for carriage rides, went for a walk on the beach, or attended private parties thrown by friends. Many looked forward to the day after prom as much as they did the dance itself. Many ventured to Great America for a day of thrills and chills while others went to Turkey Run to try their hand at canoeing. Some also went to Wrigley Field for the Cubs ' game or to the beach for a little sun and ro¬ mance. Prom-goers re¬ turned home that evening thoroughly exhausted but with special memories of a weekend that they will al¬ ways remember. PROM KING TIM SHAPLEY and Queen Julie DePasquale share the traditional dance together to the tune of Endless Love. LAURA JONES and her date reflect on the lovely evening they shared as they prepare to leave the prom. Prom 21
