This was the first year for Monarch to perform at the Hauser prom. One of the more popular games at the after-prom was the craps table. The player would place a $100 bill on a number on the table and if the number appeared on the dice after they were spun around, more money was won.

Ideal Setting Hauser's 1981 Jr.-Sr. Prom was held at the Commons on May 9 at 8:00 p.m. Other than a rainstorm which ruined the work many people had put in by washing their cars, the prom went smoothly, said Shelly Kanouse. Silver stars and balloons hung all over the Commons to help accent the well carried out theme “Keep On Loving You. After the crowning of King Scott Maley and Queen Michelle Gommel, the band, Monarch, played the theme song for the king and queen's dance with their court. A red banner trimmed in silver tinsel hung behind the band to enhance the atmosphere. The colors of the prom were red and silver; I think the colors along with the theme made an ideal setting, Lori Hart commented. The theme of the after-prom, Las Vegas, was also carried out well. The traditional games were played in the gym, only there was a difference. “One hundred dollar bills were used instead of tickets. When enough money was raised, students could exchange their winnings for prizes which included card decks used only once in Las Vegas casinos. The food, music and atmosphere combined to make this a memorable evening, stated Teresa Klann. Junior Mark Sneed attempts to ring the saddle horn to gain more $100 bills to buy some prizes. Members of the prom court are: First runners-up Shari Beck and Bryan Finke, Queen Michelle Gommel and King Scott Maley, third runners-up Joe Whittington and Laura Wasson and second runners-up Carolyn Jackson and Ben Miller. 26 Prom

Comical Problems Pam Bense (Anne) is in a dilemma after she and her island boyfriend, Mark Dodd (Roger), were drenched by a wave on the ocean Anne and Roger returned home only to be confronted by Anne's city boyfriend, Shawn Thayer (Howard), and Anne's mother, Sue McMahan (Betty). The bloopers and the casting helped to make the play a real success, said Ben Jones. The play Onions in the Stew, directed by Mrs. Nancy Wagner, was presented on April 9 and 10, 1981. The comedy concerned a family who moved from a large city to an island where they experienced problem after problem. The problems ranged from plumbing and electrical difficulties to too many uninvited houseguests. In the end, the father, Don, played by Tim Cleland, and the daughters, Joan and Anne, played by Susan Gardner and Pam Bense, convinced the mother, Betty, played by Sue McMahan, that they really enjoyed the island life despite the minor problems and did not want to move back to the city. When Mark Dodd (Roger) forgot to carry in firewood, as the script called for, and had to leave the stage to get it, I thought I'd never stop laughing! commented David Golden. Other episodes such as unexpected waves from the ocean entering the island through a window and an exaggerated senior citizen's walk by Debbie Land-auer (Miss Garvey) added humor to the play. Stage Crew Director Dave Irvine, with the help of seniors Mark Harlow, Rick Saltsman and Jeff Stoner, helped build the set, provided sound effects and coordinated the lighting for the play. The play was funny, but it had meaning to it also, concluded Staci Gearhart. Bryan Finke (Claude) seems to be a little (Grover) returns to sweep Claude's girl-upset when long lost sailor Joe Whittington friend Susan Gardner (Joan) off her feet. 28 Senior Class Play
