PROM — ‘In My Dreams’ sets Theme nee oe The Grand March gave each couple a chance at the spotlight. Above, Susie Le- pley and Dirk McKown are introduced. n My Dreams was the theme of the Junior-Senior Prom, held in the Com- mons of the DeKalb Middle School on Saturday, May 7. The theme, from a popu- lar song recorded by REO Speedwagon, was appropriate for the dream-like atmo- sphere created by the decorating com- mittee using pastel colors, balloons, and streamers. They also arranged for the weather to be warm and pleasant. After getting more dressed up than they'd ever been in their lives, most cou- ples started the evening by going out for a special dinner, many of them going to one Ft. Wayne restaurant or another. Then came the dance itself. After registering and receiving table assignments, the couples waited for the Grand March, for which they were called one section at a time. Couples were intro- duced by Mr. Fites and Mr. Branneman. Music for the evening was provided by the sound system “Music King” out of Toledo, Ohio. After a period of dancing, the royal court was introduced. It includ- ed Laura Ritchie and Cy Dillinger, Tracy Smith and Hashem Jaderanipour, Angie Kobiela and Gregg Lockwood, and Lynda Cobbs and Bruce Fuhrer. The King and Queen were Chris Mason and David Spade. Following the Prom, various after-prom activities included bowling and movies and several private parties. The special Grand March conduct “Music King” gave prom-goers a ch for a different type of dance.
