Crowded but still 'precious' On .-Xpril Z8 they walked into a room with stars hanging from the ceiling and an are of flowers set up in the middle. Over 400 students came to enjoy the '79 prom sponsored by the junior Class. Enjoying a well attended prom, a good hand and a beautifully decorated ballroom can all be attributed to the junior Class who spent over 32,000 of funds that they had earned to make the prom a good one. However, the high- light of the evening was the crowning of the queen. Prom Queen. junior Debbie Burke. stated. I was surprised! It didn't hit me until about an hour later that I really got it. I was excited whan I heard that I had received the honor. The prom ended at 12:00 and after- wards everyone went their own way. Some headed home. some went for breakfast and some went to the after- prom to enjoy getting down to some disco played by End Game. junior Tammy johnson said, It was a very memorable evening and the jun- iors proved they could do something when they got together. 1979 PROM COURT: Brad Dinius, jill Witmer, joe Endres, Beth Wiant, Mick Baker, Sydney Coffey, Debbie Burke, Mike O'Hara.

Some even got a bang out of it l-Zach year brings about an onslaught of scnior pranks to mark the anxiety of graduation. And each year brings about tht' iidministration's trouble of seeing that the whole business doesn't get out ofhand. The beginning of a new prank was seen here as several male seniors par- ticipated in the Bucket Brigade, which was the dousing of people, namely smokers, with five buckets of water while they were in the restroom. The normal setting off of firecrackers and spilling of marbles somehow less- ened the fun that is actually meant by the pranks. Fun? Hiiacking a bus, bb's down the hall, water balloons and name-calling? These also put a damper on the atti- tudes of the departing seniors and also the people staying at HHS. Marring the entire prank situations was a food fight that took place at the senior breakfast Friday morning. One girl was struck by a flying fork as eight persons were then banned from com- mencement exercises. Although the senior pranks seem- ingly dominated many minds they didn't completely overshadow the finale, the actual graduation. t 9-Q. si.. - ai, T541-CRA DUATIUN C Q I s N gi Senior class sponsor, Herb Meyer, heads toward the gym for the start of graduation.
