 April Showers” Is Prom Theme April Showers proved to be an appropriate prom theme, since it rained for most of the evening. But the weather didn't dampen many spirits. Almost all juniors and seniors were in attendance. This prom presented a few modifications on the traditional prom. These innovations included live dinner music and a legion hall dance after the banquet, featuring Mayfield Rock. The banquet was prepared by Mrs. Della Hoffman and Mrs. Lorna Ketterling. Waitresses and waiters were Diane Schooley, Laura Erdmann, Lorraine Geffre, Jenny Hoffman, Melody Weisser, Karley Hoffman, Martin Geffre, Glen Rath, Philip Feickert, and Tim Job. Kathy Neuharth began the ban- quet by welcoming the seniors. This was followed by an accept- ance speech by David Hoffman. Peggy Hoffman led a prayer before the meal. Sylvia Hoffman read the senior wills and Susan Yost read the prophecies. Lori Gill was Mistress of Cere- monies for the program.
