IUNGLE love attracts many couples It was another beautiful May weekend for the prom. After lots of fussing and preparation for the big night, it finally arrived. The theme of J-Hop was “Jungle Love.” The cafete- ria was set up with wild animals, bamboo huts, vines, waterfalls, and many other wilderness ideas. “I thought the theme was great. The backgrounds looked so real. It was really nice seeing how well ev- erything turned out after all the hard work that went into it,” commented Mi- chelle Patton, junior. The band for this even- ing of elegance was “Cen- ter Stage.” They played the whole evening at the dance from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. “The band played some really good songs. I didn’t think they would sing anything 1 knew, but they did a tre- mendous job.” said Lisa Haroff. freshman. Pictures of the couples were taken by Craft Stu- dios from 8:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The back- ground setting for the pic- tures was a bridge with a night-like sky. Dress styles were end- less. They ranged from short and mini to long and elegant. There were also many different styles of men’s fashion such as tails and pin-striped tuxedos with fun colored bow ties and cumberbuns. “I couldn’t believe all the styles I saw when I got there. People were wearing so many different kinds of dresses that I never even imagined,” mentioned sophomore Lisa Pacetti. The night came and went as usual. The official time the dance ended was 12:30 a.m. For some people the night was just begin- ning, but for others it was time to go home and get some rest for the next day. “We went to Cedar Point the next day. It was a blast. I think we covered about every ride until it started to rain,” commented se- nior Mark Vanderweg. After a long weekend of hardly any sleep, stu- dents got to look for- ward to school the next day. “I think prom would be better if it was a three day weekend because most kids are too tired to go to school the next day,” said Greg Labun. junior.

GETTING READY are seniors Randy Russell and Jaqueline Batista. During the last nights of class night preparation students had to be in full dress. —T. Wa- kenight SETTING UP PROPS are se- niors Chris Schmeichel and Darin Degraw. These two guys, along with many oth- ers. did a lot of technical work. — T. Wakenight EHEARSING an event to remember As the weeks of school came to a close, seniors fled to the Marshall Mid- dle School to begin prep- aration on Class Night ’88. Their first job was to think up creative skits based on past high school experiences, friendships, and funny memories. Se- nior Matt Davis com- mented, “The hardest part was coming up with skits that would make ev- eryone laugh.” As skits were thought up, they had to be pre- sented to senior sponsor, Mr. Brian Burns. Fillers then had to be prepared for the purpose of enter- taining while the stage was being cleared. Senior [ody Crull add- ed, “Class Night rehears- als take A LOT of work and A LOT of time, espe- cially when we still have exams to take, but it is really bringing our class together and we are all getting really close.” Also being worked on. during the weeks of prep- aration, was the tradi- tional slide show. This ar- ray of pictures taken throughout the year and during rehearsals was prepared by Sara Rei- chert and Ted Hayes. Senior Todd Turner commented, “The slide show brings back a lot of memories and I know it will be emotional when it’s shown to everyone. As late night rehearsals were completed, the se- niors had a show full of memories to present in the night to come. Class Night Prep. 27
