H appy times Prom goers enjoy dining, dancing and merriment Whether they were entering their first high school prom or their last dance of their years at CPHS, couples decked out in tuxedos and elaborate dresses were ready to have the time of their life. The prom committee had decorated St. Elijah’s Hall for the 1988 prom on the evening of May 7 to fit the appropri¬ ately chosen theme song, “The Time of My Life,” from the movie, Dirty Dancing. As each couple entered the room filled with royal blue and silver balloons which created the special effect the evening needed, they were introduced to the crowd by Mr. Tom May, one of the chaperones. Student Council president LASTING MEMORIES On their way out, Douglas Barnette and his date Jodi Tuthill receive their mementos from the prom. The gifts consisted of mugs and keychains that displayed t he theme. RELAX AND ENJOY During dinner, a group of friends en¬ joy themselves and discuss their plans for after the dance and also for the next day’s activities. Edwin Mysogland welcomed the prom-goers and gave the invocation before dinner. After dinner was over, “Pawnz” began playing, and the floor was crowded within minutes. The band played all of the most popular recent songs along with some oldies like “Shout.” Around 9 p.m. the dance floor cleared, as Natalie Nims announced the 1988 prom court. The king candidates were Ed Mysogland, Jim Rad¬ ford, Jason Vukas, and Benny Wilkinson. Queen candidates were Missy Kooi, Lynda Lu¬ cas, Ann Pearman, and Jodi Stemler. As everyone anxious¬ ly awaited to see who would be crowned, Angie Popovich crowned Ed Mysogland the 1988 prom king. Ed had the honor of crowning Lynda Lu¬ cas the prom queen. After the coronation was over, the prom court began dancing to “Never Say Good¬ bye,” and everyone else joined in. The theme song of the prom was played immediately following that. Towards the end of the evening juniors LeAnne Thompson and Lisa Mueller gave the farewell to the se¬ niors. The dance concluded at 11 p.m., but the evening was not over as many couples had plans to either take a carriage ride down Michigan Avenue, a boat ride on Lake Michigan, or just enjoy a quiet dinner. Some couples even gathered for an early morning brunch. The next day was another adventure in itself as couples spent the day at Great Amer¬ ica, Turkey Run, The Cubs’ game, or sightseeing in Chica| go- I When the weekend was over, many couples were ex- ' hausted but their memories and pictures would remind them of “the time of their life.” AIRBORNE Arriving adventurously, Benny Wil-j kinson, Jim Bush, and Alison Baxter step out of the helicopter which transl ported them to the prom. 28 Prom
