Root Color full Prom — ’81 The excitement and anticipation of the coming weekend filled the air on Friday morning as the line at the attendence office grew. It seemed the hour on the clock would never match the time designated on the early release passes. Finally, the time was right and the student parking lot was temporarily jammed with kids anxious to get home. Girls dreamt of the perfect evening between curling their hair and polishing their nails while guys rushed to wash their cars, pick up flowers, and try on their tuxes. Spirits soared and hearts pulsed that night as the escorts arrived in shiny cars to pick up their dates. The sky was velvet black with thousands of stars twinkling like diamond chips. Arm in arm couples entered the Saint Constantine Hall in Merrillville. On stage an eight piece band, “The Original Blue Tones , played an old favorite. Around 11:00, a hush fell over the hall as the 1981 prom court was introduced. The excitement climaxed when last year’s King and Queen, Nick Crnkovich and Renee Plesha turned over their crowns to the new royalty John Phillips and Lynn Azar. Everyone rose to dance to the special theme “Color My World” and a beautiful prom ended. Adding a little culture. Sue Pae and her escort Mike Lee take a brake for punch between dances. Tidying up. On their arrival to Afterprom, Sue Ispas and Jerry Curry spend a minute adjusting their attire. Prom court ' 81: Tom Miloshoff. Niki Lagos. Scott Thompson. Cheryl Dupin, Lynn Asar, John Phillips, Dee Clark. Paul Nagel. Ann Garretson. Brian Gray, Becky Hines, and Keith Arnold. Prom

First came Spirit Week with people dressing in uniforms, hats, and sunglasses. Next was the voting and the purchasing of mums. Then there was the Pep Rally with skits and cheers to fire the football team up. Bob and Mary were crowned as the band performed in top- notch style. The time came Thursday, the 15th, for the halls to be decorated and for each class to finalize their floats. Finally Friday rolled around with events filling every minute of the day: from school, to the parade, to the game, and then to the dance. Although the Indians managed to score once too often, the whole week was well worth the hysteria and excitement it brought. Homecoming
