Fountain Dampens “Paradise” In a paradise of their own, Mary Ellen Roche and John Peter¬ son are caught unaware by the camera. Eighteen enthusiastic juniors took a day off from school May 23 to transform the Senior Citizens Building into a “Tropical Paradise” for Prom 1975. Karen Copeland and Pat Van Winkle headed the committee. Couples entering the Prom found they had left Indiana behind to spend an enchanted even¬ ing in our fiftieth state. Palm trees and leis helped to create the Hawaiian atmosphere, despite the fact that a few unstable trees ended up in the spot-lighted fountain. Nearly 200 couples experienced Action, Thrills and Romance as they danced from 8 to 11:30 to the music of “A.T.R.” The excitement reached its peak at 11 o’clock when Nancy Tilley, escorted by Kevin Rankel, was crowned prom queen. Her court consisted of Kathy Velie, es¬ corted by Mark Porter; and Jodi Novak, escorted by Pat Van Winkle. Lynne Tweed struggles to secure branches in an artificial palm tree in preparation for the Prom. Prom committee members receive orders from Lisa Owens on how to properly hang wall murals.

Seniors Relish Final Activities With their high school life practically behind them, the seniors of 1975 advanced into the ac¬ tivities of senior week and graduation. From May 16th to 23rd such events as cap and gown day, dress-up day, the yearbook pizza party, and the senior breakfast took place. The all night King’s Island trip was received with mixed emotions due to the cold night and lack of entertainment after the two hour concert had ended. The Prom was held on May 23rd—the senior class’ last formal dance. As practice for graduation began, the Class of ’75 realized that the year really had come to an end. Reminiscing about twelve years of school and discussing future plans brought laughter, tears, and hopes to many. On May 28th, 404 students, wearing blue gowns, became the school’s 19th graduating class. Senior class of¬ ficers Vance Gulickson and Randy Wilson were the student speakers, while Betty Hedge and Tamara Davis read the invocation and benedic¬ tion. Reverend Gerald Borawski gave the ad¬ dress. Retiring Superintendent G. E. Ebbertt presented diplomas to seniors departing to the dreams and opportunities of the future. Rotary Club member Mr. John Tidgewell recognizes outstan¬ ding seniors at the awards convocation. Mr. Ed Roettinger checks attendance as seniors enter buses for the journey to Kings’ Island.
