Prom Provides An Enchanted Evening Prom-Goers Celebrate Downtown Happiness and spirit filled the air. The lights glimmered from the cry- stal chandeliers on the elaborately carved ceiling. The overhanging balcony and the colorfully lighted dance floor added to the beauty of the night. All the glamour and ex- citement of downtown Chicago was enclosed in this grand ballroom of the Knickerbocker Hotel. Two hun- dred and fifty couples in their flow- ing gowns and sophisticated tux- edos looked as if they had stepped out of a fashion magazine. A girl wearing a tuxedo and a few young men wearing top hats and carrying canes mingled in the crowd. The King. Terry Mikell, and the Queen. Ruth Baechle, were crowned at the event. The live music by Jack Kramer and his band was loud, but never overpowering After the deli- cious prime rib dinner, everyone was in the mood to dance the night away. Is this a scene from a fairy-tale? No. this was Niles North's Prom '82, sponsored by the Junior Class Board. Months before the Event, a prom committee led by Chairwo- men Bonnie Gotlib and Lisa Vas- quez worked on the important de- tails of the evening. Creative fun- draisers included the Computer- Dating Service, the student-faculty basketball game and fruit sales, to finance the event. Shiny gold and purple bids, small jars filled with purple and white confections, and optional formal portraits were special memoirs of Prom. May 28th, 1982 was definite- ly “Some Enchanted Evening.
