That special evening Prom is the special occasion that every student dreams ot, the occasion that changes a person and puts them in won- derland for just one night. The formal dresses, the tuxedos, the steak dinner by candlelight all add to the magical night that some wish would never end. The morning after . . . sore feet, a tired body, wrinkled dress and a stomach ache— maybe it ' s a good thing prom only comes once a year. April 22 was the date, the IUPU Ball- room was the place and Blue Max pro- vided the music. The prom started at 9 pm with the theme song When I Need You and after that the band went in to a few fast songs. For a while only a few couples danced, but soon everyone forgot their shyness and stepped out on the dance floor. The 1978 Prom King and Queen were Larry Neher and Mindy Roberts. Their court was completed by Linda Meyers and Terry Screeton, Diana Stratton and Scott Hevel and senior attendants Suzanne Claus, Bruce Kraning, Peggy Johnson and Kenny Knepp. The after-prom was at the Georgetown Bowling Lanes from 1 to 3 am, where lots of bowling and billiards were enjoyed. Thanks to the parents of the junior class refreshments were also provided. An affectionate kiss from boyfriend Bill Jeffords goes to the Queen Mindy Roberts. While not dancing, couples took time out for talking, drinking punch or looking at the others dance. i .

Song, dances, comedy all part of ' Happening ' What rides a motorcycle and eats cot- ton? Evil Bollweevil! If you didn ' t know that you probably didn ' t see the crazy happenings at Happening ' 78. Jay Leo- nard and his sidekick Dan Wallace pro- vided the above as well as many other silly jokes and antics throughout the eve- ning. Happening ' 78 happened Monday April 17 in the auditeria and was host to one of the biggest crowds ever to attend the annual talent show. Mr. Charles Henke was the emcee of the evening, as well as the man who screened all of the acts and made sure that everything went smoothly in the final run. He was fre- quently assisted by senior Ken Knepp, alias the adorable Chuck Barris of the Gong Show. The entire evening literally sparkled and cracked with the excitement and tal- ent that vibrated the stage. Music from the soundtrack of the Saturday Night Fever was used sever al times for dance routines. One of the most outstanding and talented acts of the night was dis- played by sisters Pam and Cathy Sicka- foose, who couldn ' t have thrown fire from the stage and got a better reaction from the audience. Many solos, duets and combinations were sung during the show; songs dating from the present popular You Light Up My Life and going back to Johnny Angel, of the fifties. Junior Beth Frazier proved to have one of the most beautiful voices as she sang backup vocals on quite a few numbers and soloed the song Come in from the Rain. Another added attraction, to the delight of many was the trio consisting of the irristible, loveable, five-foot two, six- foot three exchange students Maren Torske, Bridgette Conradsen, and Linda Hansson. Comedy was again added as seniors Kim Holle, Deb Coklin, Joan Tryzynka, Teresa Backer and Amy Haus, and fresh- man Patty Tryzynka portrayed the Little Rascals in a skit from the show. Disco Dancing has made it big ever since Saturday Night Fever. Dawn Fink and Tammy Robinson do a dance from the movie. ' Gong show ' has their unknown comic and so does NHHS. Stu Mcintosh was a fill-m between acts. Happening ' 78 27

When you ' re with the right person every dance is special. Slow dancing to When I Need You the theme song puts cou- ples in a serious mood. A special moment — a special feeling. Mike Farrell (11) and Laura Hathaway (1 1) are distracted while trying to be alone for a moment. Having some fun — what are girls known best for; giggling and being silly. Debbie Reed (1 1 ) and Pam Sickafoose (12) have a good time at after-prom bowling at Georgetown Bowling Lanes. Prom 29
