Prom celebration by the seashore The Juniors presented a “Holiday by the Sea” prom to the Class of 82 on Saturday, May 1, at the McMinnville Community Center. To build on the theme, decorations consisted of fishing nets on the walls, a lighthouse, driftwood piers, screens with seagulls on them, decorative paper, and streamers. Dress for the prom this year was more casual than in past years. It was considered a “semi-formal” formal affair. With the current economics situation, more practical-minded students chose to invest in street length dresses over formals, and suits or sweaters over tuxedos. These casual clothes could be worn to social occasions other than the prom. This variety of dress was visually interesting and reflected current fashion trends of comfort and individuality over structured fashion mandates. Denise Hofrichter was crowned Queen, and Mary Briggs, Debbie Holladay, Stacy O'Riley, Susie Bell, and Tracy Barton were the senior princesses. The five-member band, Cross Current from Portland played a variety of songs from the 50’s and 60’s for the guests to dance to. A midnight buffet consisting of hamburgers and trimmings, french fries, cake, and soft drinks awaited prom-goers when the dance was over.

Student Senate spent much time and energy in planning Twerp Week this year so that it would be more exciting for those students participating. At noon on Monday an exciting faculty versus Intramural All-Star softball game was held. The Mark Root faculty won with a score of 11-3. Class skits were performed at a spirited assembly Tuesday, which also informed everyone of the events for the rest of the week. Wednesday was “Hawaiian Day” and drew much more participation than many dress up days in the past. People wore everything from flowered shirts and shorts to hula skirts. Students were enter- tained in the cafeteria at noon on Thursday by the Twilighters. The all-school M-Club barbecue was Thursday evening. It was much more successful than in past years. This may have been because an auction, also sponsored by M-Club, took place after everyone was done eating. M-Club members had written letters to celebrities and athletic organizations asking for personal items which were then auctioned off at the barbecue. After a cool, overcast morning the clouds cleared just in time for a sunny and warm noon cookout and carnival on Friday. The Stage Band entertained the students and faculty while they ate their lunches outside. Then it was off to the track for carnival fun. The carnival was a new addition to Twerp Week this year and was very successful. Events such as a dunk tank, a car smash, a balloon dart throw, a balloon toss, a pie auction, and a shopping cart race took place. Refreshments were also sold while these activities were taking place. To wind up Twerp Week, a Bargain Dance was held Friday evening at 7:30. Mike Teegarden
