Prom gives us a reason to dress formally, which is a nice change. If s a special night to share with friends and a night that we'll all remember. Because I'm a senior, this prom is the one I'll remem- ber most. — Lyn Metzger Starting at the left and moving clockwise, John Brink and Sherri Jones take a break from the dance floor, Matt Kaple and his date Bonnie Jo Grubbs enjoy the comfort of a carriage ride on an Endless Summer Night, a group of students relax and socialize in the courtyard of the Findlay College student union, and, Robin Breitigam and Jason Heaster share a romantic moment to- gether on the dance floor. 11

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
