an enchanted atmosphere for 1973 Prom Prom-going couples carry on a happy conversation while waiting for dinner to be served. Breaking away from the traditional Prom this year, juniors decided to hold the entire event at the Scher- wood Club in Schererville. Featur¬ ing a footbridge and a fountain, “On the Threshold of a Dream” themed the Junior-Senior Prom held on Friday, May 25. The night was per¬ fect, as only Prom night can be. Amidst a romantic atmosphere, couples dined and danced to the music of Ken Holden and Co. The After Prom provided much enter¬ tainment for individual couples as they loosened up to the music of Guild. Several hours later most Prom goers donned informal attire to spend a peaceful Saturday at the Dunes. Now, only a tender moment yet re¬ called, a pressed bouquet, a remem¬ bered dance, and a goodnight kiss not forgotten remain from that one special evening. Before having their pictures taken, different couples share a discussion with each other. In the enchanting atmosphere provided at the Prom, Paula Sandilands and Hank Wintczak find delight in dancing together.
