 Starry Starry Night Sets Aura for G.R. Formal On the night of February 26, 1977, Girls Reserves held their annual formal. Many months in advance, club members worked diligently in order to be eligible to go to the dance with the guy of their choice. As each of the 175 couples entered the dance through a huge walk-through star, president Sandy Kelsy and vice-president Denise Haferkamp greeted them. Blue and silver were selected as the G.R. formal colors which complimented the theme, Starry Starry Night. Adding to the theme were hanging stars picturing an outdoor setting. As always, the climax of the formal was the crowning of the G.R. Queens. Queens were chosen by cabinet members based on the girls' outstanding involvement and support of the club. Senior Queen, Brenda Euler, was escorted by Scott Bell and Richard Tuck, respectively. Sophomore Pat Hiler, escorted by Doug Trottier, was chosen as the princess of the G.R. formal. The combination of drastic weather conditions and the fuel shortage postponed the G.R. formal from January 29 to February 26 and also changed the band that provided the music for G.R. couples. Despite the many changes that had to be made, the G.R. formal setting helped to make all the long hours of work and planning well worth it to virtually everyone involved. G.R. Formal — 27
