••MEMORIES SET TIME MAGIC €E IPIRCM At the beginning of a new decade, what could possibly be more romantic than a look at the past? This year ' s prom treated couples to a dreamy journey down Memory Lane on May 2, 1980. The prom site. Wicker Park Pavilion, was decorated in a nostalgic air of an age gone by, presenting a modern time machine effect unequaled by H.G. Wells. Promgoers began to arrive at 7:30 for an evening of dancing, piture taking, and a dinner served promptly at 10 p.m. The night really began to fly as couples were rocketed back to the present by the fast paced music of the after-prom band. The band played until the prom ' s end at 2 a.m. Beaches, amusement parks, and other popular day-after prom hang-outs were crowded on May 34d. The junior class funded the annual prom with profits from the sale of two year planners, candy, Christmas candles, and sponsoring trips to Old Chicago amusement park. Exhausted after a romantic evening alumnus Dan Padilla Preparations are complete and the music is about to begin as and senior Kalee Sobek head home to get some shut eye. couples enter a night they will remember for years to come. 12 — Prom
