Toole, Barbee 1985 Prom Royalty The junior-Senior prom of 1985 was one of memories and dreams according to those who attended. Proms are coming back into fashion as the large number who attended this year's prom indicated. The night that some had looked forward to since the eighth grade took place at the Hoosier Dome Convention Center in the White River Ballroom. Frenz provided the music. The king, queen, prince, and princess candi- dates were all nervous. Who would Mike Stuckey and Missy Collet, master and mistress of ceremonies, give the crowns to? The results were King Jorge Barbee, Queen Leisa Toole, Prince Rodney Luke, and Princess Silvia Karklins. It was one of the greatest moments in my life. I wish more of my family and friends were here! replied Prince Rodney Luke with tears in his eyes. After the prom the couples and groups either went to dinner or to parties while a few romantic souls went on moonlit carriage rides. It was a night to be remembered by all who attended. Senior sponsors Mr. Roger Schroder and Mr. john Vardaman supervised with other faculty. King Barbee accepts the crown from Missy Coller, one ofthe emcees of the prom ceremony.
