A Aight In the “Land of Oa” The Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet was held Saturday, May 8th in the DHS gymnasium. The theme, “The Land of Oz,” was appropriately expressed with decorations including the scene of Dorothy’s house caught in the tornado, munch-kin land, the yellow-brick road to the Wizard’s house, and his big balloon. Upperclassmen enjoyed the evening meal of smoked beef and pork. Renee Hathcock, Junior class president, was mistress of ceremonies and introduced guest speakers Theresa Ross, Senior class president, Gene McCane, and Thurston Hill, who spoke on proms 30 years ago when he attended DHS. Following the banquet, guests proceeded to the gymnasium for a short skit of Dorothy and her travels to see the Wizard of Oz. Renee Hathcock portrayed Dorothy, Mike Reese played the cowardly lion, Mike Bien was the tin-man, Greg Guilliams, the scarecrow, Nancy Pippins was the good witch, Julie Smith, the bad witch, Dan McClintock played the Wizard, and Kenny Mayer took care of the narrating and sound effects. The dance, which was supposed to begin at 8:00, got a late start, but “Hustutler” finally began providing tunes at 9:00. Many students, faculty members, and visiting parents stayed well into the midnight hour enjoying the music and good times.
