Janet and Paul Reign Following tradition, the Junior class sponsored the 1988 prom. The theme was “The Best of Times,” and approximately 300 students attended. The prom was hosted at St. Sava Serbian Hall on Satur- day, April 23 from 8:00-11:00 p.m. Dur- ing the dance, the band “Connextion” played and for the after prom, which was hosted by the Hobart Jaycees, “Midwest Rollin’ Sound” entertained the students. Paul Flaharty and Janet Kostromin were crowned king and queen. There were also ten other senior couples who were nominated for king and queen. The only students who voted for these titles were those who attended the dance. Some Seniors were unable to attend the prom because the number of tickets sold was limited. As a result, many stu- dents were selling tickets to the highest bidder. Although there was a waiting list, few students on the list were allowed to purchase tickets. Pictures were taken by Midstates Photography Inc.
