Smiling happily are Karen Hutcherson and Hal Kelly after they were announced as 1977 prom king and queen. The Juniors worked hard this year to create an atmosphere that the Seniors would long remember. Figure practices proved worthwhile, and helped make the evening memorable as Seniors realized their high school years were coming to an end. Karen Hutcherson and Hal Kelly were chosen as prom king and queen and reigned proudly over the prom. The band, “Just Us”, provided some great entertainment for everyone. The theme song of the Prom was “Hold- ing on to Yesterday’. The night was one everyone would long remember as a special part of their high school years. Juniors, Teresa Freeman and her date Chris Chalkley take a break from the dance floor to enjoy refreshments. 28 Prom

Juniors Work Hard So Seniors Can “Hold On To Yesterday” The Juniors made plans for the Prom months in advance. The court yard needed to be ra cleaned up, themes needed to j be decided on, and a band ¥. had to be chosen. A group of Juniors put in many long hours of work after school, during weekends, and Spring Vaca- tion to design, paint and build for the Prom. The Roarin’ Twenties was chosen as the decoration theme. The cafeteria was decorated with an old man- sion, blue skies and a golf course. One wall was designed to look like Lowe’s theatre and streamers decorated the ceiling. A gazebo was placed in the courtyard. Everyone’s hard work seemed to pay off when we enjoyed a memor- able evening. Decorating for the prom required work for Juniors both inside and out, as Dereck Rossi and Anne Louise Hyatt paint the Gazebo. Pausing a moment from her work, Kate Dunham shows that being a Junior can sometimes be a bit dangerous as she decorates from the heights of the cafeteria. Prom Decorating 27
