12 me who really won, Igot so excitedI I COULDN'T IMAGINE IT WAS ME The festivities of the Junior Prom began at 8:00 P.M. on May 2, 1975 at the Quality Inn in Covington. The band which played was Crossroads. Bellewood Lanes hosted the after prom. As told by Mark Hafner, Prom King, In general, the prom ran smoothly and there were some very good comments made, concerning the way it was conducted. The band was good and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Experiencing the nomination, and the winning of any activity can be a thrilling adventure. Carol Baker, Prom Queen, explained, The other nominees and I were standing there and I kept hearing the other names being called. Suddenly, my name was called out and I just stood there because I couldn't imagine it was me. When I did realize that it was was a complete nervous wreck. Both Carol and Mark plan to attend the Junior Prom in the spring of '76. Neither would miss it for the world. Years ago, proms were the big thing Everyone went to the prom. However, this seems to have died down. Carol feels, A big reason is the expense. The girl's formals, shoes, etc. . . . and the guy's tux, the flowers, etc., have all gone up. Also, everyone is into more informal dress today and would rather not go somewhere which calls for formal dress. Although the prom was successful, there is always room for improvement. Mark commented, It could stand for a little more organization. Also, more total class participation should be shown. Plans should be started as early as possible. - - - Top Picture: King Mark Hafner and Queen Carol Baker seated on their throne.

The students learn safety precautions, and regulations in the classroom. They meet for these lectures one day a week.
