The 1979 Jr. Sr. Prom started out very early on Saturday morn¬ ing, May 5, when every girl got up early to start getting ready for the big night ahead of her. She couldn’t wait for the evening to come and when it finally did come, she let her parents take pic¬ tures of her and her date together, arm in arm. At the Prom, the girls were es¬ corted to the building while her date parked the car. When he en¬ tered the building, they began their way through the forest of pines. The first stop in the forest was the prom guest book. Every couple signed it. They then walked a bit farther and stopped again at the shawl rack where the girls left their shawls. The couples then walked toward the RIGHT: RATHER PEACEFUL. Rick Dre- ver and his date casually admire the wa¬ terfall at the prom. BELOW: IT MATCHED PERFECTLY.

979 opening of the forest. When they reached the opening, their names were announced. During the Prom, couples danced, drank punch, and con¬ versed with one another. The band of the evening this year was Phase IV, who did a highly ade¬ quate job in accommodating the dancers. During the Prom, the King and Queen were announced. This year’s 1979 Prom King and Queen were Tom Dougherty and Sue Bedoian. After the Prom was over, the couples had 45 minutes to talk to one another until the Post Prom Party started. After the Post Prom Party was over, the couples went home to get a few minutes of sleep before heading for Turkey Run or Great America. Most couples seemed to pull through the weekend. The Prom was put together by skillful people like Mr. Sufana’s art classes, the Junior Class and sponsors. The 1979 Prom was a success because of these people who worked so hard. ABOVE: SWAYING.
