The end of the school year signified the beginning of a flurry of exciting events to look forward to for the class of ,87. Time went relativly quickly for most seniors as they anticipateed such events as Prom, the Senior Trip, and finally, Graduation. The fun started on Friday, May 22nd at Jumer's. Seniors and their dates danced to the tunes of Juice underneath a canopy of royal blue and black balloons, and metalic blue and silver streamers provided a shi- mering affect on the dance floor. Lasting from 8:00 to midnight, the dance was a huge success. I had a great time! commented senior Rick Flacco enthusias- ticly. For me, it was a great end to a great year. The theme for this year's Prom was Never Say Goodbye , an appropriate theme for a class high school memories will live in their hearts forever. Senior Lisa Anderson contracted Jumeris and the band Juice while seniors Eric Strack and Jon Hanna led the decorat- ing committee. Eric Strack said, I think that the prom went well. I was really im- pressed with the dedication of the decorat- ing committeee. They began at seven in the morning and worked hard all day.

-Wt Spifift 05 lQowtOiviQe The halls of GHS were a blur of black, silver, and gold as the enthusiastic classes vied for one last chance to win the spirit week contest-school was shortened for a pep assembly, where senior Mark Junk pepped up the crowd with the help of the basketball cheerleaders. Next came the lip sync contest-The seniors took it all the way with their choreographed version of 'Time Warp' from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. In a close second place were the freshmen, with an energetic performance of 'Talk Dirty To Me' by Poison. ln 3rd place were the sophs who performed a song featuring the Blues Brothers. Then finally, falling val- iantly into last place, were the juniors with their version of 'Tequila.' Said junior Lance Johnston, Well... l liked it! The overall winners of the Spirit Week competition were the Seniors which made them two year winners of Spirit Week! The Knights of Columbus hall was trans- formed into a beautiful fantasy world as couples dressed in their finest, danced to the tune of the theme song, Will You still Love Me? by Chicago, Although the night was cold and rainy, the dance had a good turnout, providing a romantic night for couples and a great time for all. The traditional site of the dance in years past had been the front hall of GHS, howev- er, to avoid problems of overcrowding, the student council rented the KC hall for the night. Senior Chris Hoenig liked the change. lt wasn't as crowded, and there was more room to dance! Student council also de- W s 1 sk 'f si .1 .S , ,gc X cided not to have a live band, instead opting for local DJ Mike White. The reigning king and queen were Matt Glasonovich and Cindi Watson. lt was one of the most exciting and memorable mo- ments in my life! exclaimed Cindi. I couldn't believe it! Even with the changes in location and music, there were still some things that re- mained the same: the frantic, last minute search for the dress, the corsage order at 9:00 A.M. on the morning of the dance, and the 2-hour wait to be endured if you were eating at one of the more popular Gales- burg restaurants. Despite all this, Sweet- heart Swirl 1987 was a tremendous suc- cess! fa- Seniors Matt Glasmovich and Cindy Watson were the reigning king and queen for Sweetheart Swirl. Sophomores Sergio lnterial and Todd Sundell were the Blues Brothers for the lip sinc competition. Sweetheart Swirl -21
