R. X 6. is Ms- ,,,,c..,- ss E is 1 I K Seniors recoll The best of Vrnes The pastel colored streamers and balloons provided a delightful atmosphere for the 1981 Marshall Prom as The Best of Times was held at the Portland State Ballroom on the evening of May 15. One hundred and eleven couples shared this funfilled night while dancing to the sounds of Crescendo. At ten o'clock the prom court was presented, with Cindy Bachman crowned as the 1981 Prom Queen. I am very honored being selected queen by my senior classmates, re- plied Queen Cindy. Other court members includ- ed Seniors Karen Batdorf, Ginger Halmon, Lin- da Leong, Shelley Taylor, and Rhonda Wong. Pictures of the formally attired couples were taken by Bruno Studios, capturing this elegant evening. Senior Teresa Stocker explained, I had a good time. Our prom is something I will always remember. Relieving the seniors from a heavy load, the junior class had a significant role at the prom, as their responsibilities included serving refresh- ments, tending the cloak room, and that wonder- ful task of cleaning up. Chris Schloe, junior class president, stated, We have helped out at the prom the past two years, and it is nice to take the burden off the seniors. As the end drew near, couples departed, go- ing in different directions. A common place where twelve couples met was the Jantzen Beach Thunderbird, awaiting a cruise organized by 52f1i0rS John Baker and his date, Theresa Plechinger. While cruising on the Columbia and Willamette Rivers for three hours, couples be- gan to tire, sleeping for the latter part of the trip, as others stayed on deck dancing to various tunes. Senior Carol Montminy exclaimed, The cruise added a special touch, while ending this memorable evening. ENJOYING the evening are Senior Scott McNeil and his date. SHARING in The Best of Times are Kim Plover and her date and Joan Hilsenteger and her date, Darren Brand. Prom 0 107
