“The Best” of 1981-82 1981-82 brought many new tal¬ ents to the world of music, the¬ atre, and sports. The best album of 1981 was REO Speedwagon’s “High In Fi- delty,” (according to Rolling Stone magazine), and the Rolling Stone’s “Tattoo You” topped the charts in spring of 1982. The Rolling Stones also went out for their so-called “final tour” where the band made so much money, they later decided to tour Europe. “Chariots of Fire was awarded an Oscar for Best Picture of the Year, winning over block-busters such as Reds”, “Ragtime,” and On Golden Pond.” Daytime television made it’s mark as both males and females could be found watching Luke and Laura on the popular soap opera General Hospital.” Prime time suffered to find a hit that wouldn’t be canceled, but instead came out ahead with oldies such as “MASH.” and Barney Miller.” The most popular form of enter¬ tainment proved to be in the video world, as Pac Man swept the Na¬ tion. In sports, the delayed World Se¬ ries title went to the Dodgers. The Super Bowl was won by the San- fransico 49er’s. ‘‘Superbrat,” John McEnroe, won both the U.S. Open and Wimbledon.

The 1982 Prom Court: Dave Fredericks Parks; Prom Queen Cheri Brown and Prom Davis; Cindy Berner and Mike Schest and Eileen Moriarty; Ross Parker and Ellen King Todd Norton; Penny Weiand and Roy Paradise Island Beckons An island paradise awaited 120 couples who crossed over a white, arched bridge into the Multi-Pur¬ pose Room on the evening of May 15, 1982. Once inside, guests at the Junior-Senior Prom danced to the music of SUNSET EXPRESS, relaxed with friends at tables set against murals of tropical scenes or enjoyed refreshments provided by the junior class. The theme “Paradise Island could be seen in all the decora¬ tions designed by the juniors. Palm trees, live plants, sea shells and flowers welcomed guests to what “was” the Devils’ Commons. The focal point here was a “ship¬ wrecked boat surrounded by sand and a treasure chest filled with “jewels”. As guests of the ju¬ niors, the seniors were greeted by “Alohas and flowered leis as their entrance onto the dance floor was formally announced. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Prom King and Queen, Todd Norton and Cheri Brown by Superintendent, Mr. John Kuruzovich and his wife. As the court danced to the theme song, “Sailin’ ’’ by Christopher Cross, memories of the 1982 Prom settled in each mind’s eye. Tina White and Bob Mitchell took a rest from dancing under the papier mache palm trees which were part of the tropical decorations. 24 Prom
