Prom Reflects A Memorable Evening Prom-goers found a romantic setting at the 1976 prom, Re- flections of My Life”. The prom was held at the new Wicker Park Social Center, Highland, IN. , on May 15, 1976. Prom-co-chairmen Susan Clark and Cindy Farkas found that planning a prom is not an easy job. Nite- Magic set the theme for romance with their mellow mu- sic. Their music got the couples in the mood of the evening. A prom cake was a new idea thought up this year, to make the night a little more memorable. Then the Blast began . . . Blast set the beat for the rest of the evening with their own brand of rock and roll music. Peggy Benirschke was crown- ed queen, at her side was Steve Faught. Her court consisted of Liz Resetar (escorted by Mark Cooley), Patty Rapchak (Ray Love), Lori Frye (Tim Budreau) and Dorothy Ince (Carl Berg- strom). Blast then provided a very special moment with the playing of the garter song Best of My Love was the song chosen to further enhance this moment. Blast emplemented happy memo- ries in the hearts and minds of the evening with the theme song Reflections of My Life which truly reflected one of the most memorable nights in the lives of the couples.
