The theme was ‘‘Keep On Loving You.” The Juniors, Seniors, and _ their guests danced to music played by Jack Browning, alias ‘‘Dueling Turntables.” The evening was climaxed by the crown- ing of Prom King and Queen, Bobby Wolfe and Debbie Barton, and Prom Prince and Princess, Jeff Salyer and Michelle Damron. . gw f. gS.
