What ' s one of the biggest nights of the year? Prom, of course! Stars and a wishing- well decorated the lobby area. A flowered- covered bridge was the walkway over a glistening creek. Many couples waited in the lengthy line for pictures. Others danced to the music of the Bob Wilson Band or snacked on cookies and punch served by freshman girls. The court was introduced and Ed Ty- lenda sang the theme song, Stairway to Heaven. The crowd applauded with ap- proval as Jordan Vukus and Michele Sikich were crowned king and queen to reign over the festivities. After-Prom began with a steak dinner at 1 a.m. in the House of Lynwood. Fresh Air provided the fast dance music until 5 a.m. when the couples left to catch a few hours sleep. Smiles and fallen curls were seen on Sun- day morning. An unusually cold day pre - vented many couples from going to the beach. Some went to the zoo, others to Turkey Run. Monday morning came much too soon. Sleepy eyes and sunburned faces showed who had enjoyed the weekend activities. Prom 13

CRUTCHES AND SMILES. Not even a dis located hip hampers Linda Duley on the • walk towards her diploma. Dave Dobrinich also looks forward to the long-awaited moment. LOST IN THOUGHT. Four years already gone? Successful wrestling meets and exciting football games are a part of Tom Herr ' s high school memories. ON TO BIGGER THING What seems like an end was only a be- ginning was the motto of the 74 graduates. On a hot Tuesday evening, June 4, the class assembled to receive their diplomas. Parents, teachers, and friends waited impatiently for his or her graduate to receive his diploma. The senior class president, Rick A. Kwolek, introduced the valedictorian, De- nise Krivach, and the salutatorians, Marilee Smith and Rick Stephens. Friends, school and the future were topics used in their speeches. 520 seniors anxiously counted every minute until they ' d have their diplomas. Many thought of their pride in accomplish- ing their goal in high school. Others were remembering happy times at football games or speech meets. Some thought only of their future— whether it was marriage, a job, or college and more education. A TIME FOR GOODBYES. Suspending in time what may be their last conversation together, Jean Devine and Joe Kundrat wish each other a fond farewell. Graduation 15
