Setting the mood for the evening, the theme “We’ve Only Just Begun” was depicted by an unusual oriental decor. • Mugs and oriental chimes were selected as favors. The highlight of the evening was the announcement of the 1977 prom queen and king. Students voiced their approval as Kim Queer and Steve Hepburn were elected. After-prom was held from 1:00 to 5:00 a.m. at Dean’s Admiral Convention Center l in Merrillville. Roast beef was served as the main course.

Showboat brings on the talent There are many ways to express one’s inner self; music is one. Last May the choral department combined music and dance to produce the musical “Showboat”. The cast was headed by Leslie Cengal as Magnolia and Jerry Jurik as Gaylord. In the supporting roles, Mike Griffin played Captain Andy and Rene Anderson was Parthy. Rounding out the cast were Sue Foss as Ellie and Frank Zabarte as Frank. Under the direction of Mr. Larry Stuber, the summer drama classes produced a series of five one-act plays entitled “Comedy Tonight”. The classes also performed “Snow White” with Vicky Folley in the title role and “Sleeping Beauty” with Donna Hurlbert as Sleeping Beauty and Mike Kelly as Prince Charming. Ms. Eunice Dorton directed the choreography, and music was played by Jeff Jarecki on drums and Patti Reed at the piano. Lighting directors were Kevin Ambler, Mike Novacel, and Jim Reed.
