This was a night to remember tor Burbridge and many Students Schmidt reign F inally! Saturday evening. May 10 had arrived. Days were counted down for this special occasion. It was a time for trading in jeans and sweatshirts for gowns and tuxes, get- ting a haircut, going on crash diets and daily trips to the tanning salon. It was time to give up going out to the movies to save money and start bargaining with dad for the use of his car for the evening. Meetings were held before and after school to plan the decorations, music and scheduling A Night To Remem- ber. It was prom time. Prom was a very special night because I spent it with a very special person, said sophomore Sharon Owczarzak. Some students spent prom night with their boyfriend or girlfriend, but many just went as friends. Last year ' s prom was a blast be- cause I had a great date! said sopho- more Maryjane Grubach. Prom also involves a bit of tradition. The following Sunday, couples gather at state parks, amusement parks, or even another state for the day. Juniors Greg Burbridge and Amy Schmidt reigned over the gallent even- ing as prom King and Queen with a court of Jeff Ritter, Julianne Rowe, Jeff Hamilton, Anne Hoffman, Mark Halver- son, Linda Gabrys, Todd Zaicow and Kir§ Volpe. ”1 was in total shock! I was just happy to be on court. I didn ' t realize it until I woke up the next morning and knew it wasn ' t a dream. It was the greatest thing that ever happened to me, said senior Greg Burbridge. Prom was held on May 10 at Saint Constantine and Helen Greek Ortho- dox Cathedral Helenic Cultural center • in Merrillville. Entertainment for the evening was provided by New Release as the stu- dents danced the night away. Turquoise pink and white were the colors with the orchid as the flower. The theme A Night To Remember was devised from Loverboy ' s This Could Be The Night the song for the evening. Since last year ' s prom was my first it was really fun! The band and people were great and everyone looked so nice! Partying the day after was the best part! said sophomore Jayme Bu- dack. “I had a great time at prom last year! It was fun seeing everyone all dressed up. I ' m really glad I went! said sopho- more Kendra Davis. Open wide!
