a urnE ran us Prom was held on April 25, 1981 in the Penthouse of the Ramada Inn, but actually, prom started taking hold when the Junior class officers were elected in May, almost a year before Prom actually took place. The first step in planning prom was to find a place in which it would be held. Lori, Teresa, Jeff, and DeAnne took an afternoon off from school to look at the Penthouse. They decided it wasn't the greatest looking place but it had a good location and a lot of potential. The second step was to book a band. They couldn't find one for $500 in the spring, but after many phone calls, they contracted 'Out of the Blue.' After this they thought the biggest part was over and done with, but were they wrong! Next, came voting for colors which were maroon, dusty rose and white, and the theme which was 'A Time for Us.' The basis for the 1981 Prom was now secure. Then came the ordering of the memory books, napkins, placecards, invitations and favors which were roly-poly chrystal tumblers. The dividing up of the class was next, nine committees were formed, they were: King and Queen, Roll Prophecy and Scroll, Prophecy, Rose Arbor, Refreshment, Picture Setting, Head Table and Placecards, Invitations, and Centerpiece. a. a.

Luckily. Ramada Inn settled their strike in February, and the last few weeks before prom went by smoothly. On April 25, 175 people dressed up in their best; either suits or tuxes and long dresses. The program started at 7:00 with Lori Salisbury giving the introduction and emceeing the entire program. Reverend Lan-ny Tuttle gave the invocation, Deanne Averhoff the response, followed by the guest speaker, Hal Pohlman, who entertained the audience with a stimulating speech.
