King: Ken Kuenstling son of Mr. and Mrs. Gerhard Kuenstling Queen: Maggie Staebell daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Staebell A Night to Reflect on April 26 was a date set aside by most all juniors and seniors; it was Prom 1980. The Charles William Theatre Room at the Allerton Axtell Inn was draped in blue and silver to intensify the theme, “Reflections of the Past.” Formal attire was donned by all. Long dresses, suits, and tuxes seemed to transform and disguise everyone who attended. The opening welcome was given by Deanne Averhoff and followed by a response given by Robert Benson. Mrs. Barb Harken was the speaker of the night, adding humor to the somewhat solemn occasion by commenting on a few of the seniors. Robert and Natalie then followed up by reading a few of the seniors’ wills to the juniors. Ending the program were Angie Weber and David Shimp reading some of the seniors’ prophecies. After a meal of roast beef, augratin potatoes, corn, green beans and a salad bar, there was an intermission which gave people the choice of sitting in the balcony or waiting for the tables to be moved back for the dance floor. It was also in this time space that the band, Shane, was setting up. Around 10:30 the royalty was named, Deanne Averhoff — Princess, Rich Nesbit — Prince, Ken Kuenstling — King, and Maggie Staebell — Queen. After this, people began filtering out in small groups to enjoy the rest of the evening and morning. 17
