1 I OOO Early during the summer of '81, the Senior Class Cabi- net and Prom Chairman Jean lnglis began to search for the 1982 prom site. After ruling out several more expen- sive possibilities, the group finally selected the Ramada lnn in Tualatin, and set May 21 as the date for the Prom. i'We wanted to be economical while finding a good room, explained Inglis. Committees were then chosen, and the hard work be- gan. Decorations, which were kept to a minimum due to the attractive setting in the room, included pastel carna- tions at each table, a mirror ball, a fountain, and a huge banner with the Prom's theme, 'ADon't Stop Believing , written in a flowing script. The banner was the work of Maralee Unis and Sonja Dieringer, Art Staff members. ln addition to fruit trays, nuts, and chips, two large cakes decorated with the theme, date, and congratulations to the Class of '82 were also purchased. The cakes were beautiful and also tasted delicious, claimed Kris Tib- betts. A moment of panic occurred when the music couldn't be located before the crowning of Prom Queen D'Ann Cecchini, but the problem was soon solved by Advisor Don Emry, who located the missing album under a coat. Members of the band Showcase took a break while the queen and her court led a spotlight dance to Journey's Don't Stop Believing. Many couples chose to dine before the Prom, and three of the most popular restaurants included the Red Lion Inn, the Rafters, and Tivoli Gardens. An abundance of lace, silk, and delicate flowers could be seen on many of the girls' dresses, and tails and ascot ties were popular among the guys. I had my date go with me when l rented my tuxedo to make sure we would match perfectly, stated Ta Yen Lee. Throughout the evening, the dance floor was kept full of swirling skirts and shiny shoes. Although it was rather small, the space provided a unity among the group and added to the special atmosphere. l had a great time at the Prom and was very happy that everything went so well, remarked Senior Charlette Berube, who had a hand in the planning. A few lucky seniors were driven to the Ramada in sleek black limousines. Ron Dowhaniuk commented, l wanted to go all out, and a limo was one way to do it. When the memorable evening came to an end, couples headed to the Rose Gardens, the beach, or took a leisure- ly drive around Portland. .--vagal WX.
