a night of magic, romance Moonlight cruise is theme of annual prom Prom is a night full of magic, romance and memories. It's a night to dress for- mally and to stay up till dawn. The 1988 prom, sponsored by the junior class council, was held May 27, from 8:00 to 12:00 at the Findlay College student un- ion. Sail Away into Endless Summer Nights, the Class of '89 Presents Moon- light Cruise was the theme. The student union was decorated as a ship, including portholes to observe land. The courtyard was designed as an Island Paradise, providing a lighted area to socialize and cool-off. Couples were also able to take rides in a horse- drawn carriage. Special highlights throughout the eve- ning included refreshments, music, the traditional balloon drop, and candid pic- tures taken by Buckeye Candid Photog- raphy. The refreshments were served in the galley. Beverages were also served in the Treasure Cave. Since the prom activities did not in- clude dinner, many students traveled to Toledo for pre-prom meals. Post prom entertainment included transportation to and from Cinema World where Crocodile Dundee 11 was shown. Transportation was provided by Garber Buick and members of the Find- lay Kiwanis Club. Casino games, break- fast, music by Sound F X, and hypnotist Jon Lautree were additional post — prom activities. An alternative to post-prom for those who did not attend were private parties. With the long Memorial Day week- end, many continued their post-prom with traditional trips to Cedar Point. Junior class council adviser Mr. Dan Matheny was very pleased with the large turn out (approximately 650 in atten- dance), and the effort of the junior class. h r i 10 N

the finer things Nash and Kagy named 1987 queen and king This year's homecoming festivities will go down as being truly memorable. The major reason was the original disap- pointment of not having the annual pa- rade. However, one was put together at the last minute. The parade was high- lighted by the homecoming court, the senior float (which was the only float), and various spirited seniors in their own cars. Other highlights of the week's events included a contest for the best decorated homeroom door, won by room 125 and all the other business hall doors, and, painting school and various downtown merchant windows depicting this year's theme, The Finer Things. Spirit week included college t-shirt and sweatshirt day, sweats day and the traditional blue and gold day (except for many seniors who unofficially named it toga day). The bonfire, which psyched up the football team for a 35-7 victory over Toledo Woodward, was held Wednesday night. This included the burning in effigy of a Polar Bear and a marshmallow eating contest which was won by homecoming king candidate Mike Bundy. The week's events climaxed on Friday night with Matt Kagy and Andrea Nash crowned homecoming king and queen. Other members of the court included Beth Fissel, Cathy Fissel, Heather Manley, Kristi Watt, Eric Anderson, Mike Bundy, Paul Busch, and Joey Dillon. The excitement was concluded with the traditional dance on Saturday. It was held in the cafeteria from 8:00-12:00 p.m. J.B. Sound provided music for the evening. This year's homecoming proved to be one of the finer things we have seen in quite awhile.
