Walking from the remains of a shipwreck to a beautiful paradise island was how many couples spent one rainy Saturday evening. This rainy night, May 5, 1984, obviously didn’t have the best weather, but that didn’t stop NHS prom-goers from putting on their tuxes and ankle-length dresses and donning the umbrellas so as to avoid getting the freshly-styled hair wet. The tropical night began with punch-hour beginning at 7:30 p.m. and dinner at 8:00 p.m. As everyone finished dining, they were entertained with the voices of Heather Price and Tom Baker singing the theme song “Almost Paradise.” Directly afterwards, Scott Parker and Patty Parson were announced as King and Queen, hence, enjoining the others to dance. Around midnight everyone took off for home and reconstructed themselves from Cinderellas and Tropical Paradise Inspires Everyone Prince Charmings to fashionable post-prom party goers. Even though the “prommers” were weary, you couldn’t tell by the way they jumped from shooting free throws to playing bingo or playing foosball to popping balloons. If it was food you were looking for, you could smell your way to the hot dogs and chips. Prizes donated by Norfolk merchants added a little spice to the early morning activities. Everything from luggage, to TV sets to $100 bills were given away during the night. About 4:00 a.m. Sunday morning the prizes had run out and so had the energy of the once excited parents as well as the students themselves. Even though energy was low, spirits were high as everyone trotted off to breakfast at friends’ houses or a local restaurant. Eventually everyone went home — tired but happy. Bryon Baker motions to Beau Anderson to check out the hot dogs and chips served at Post Prom. Beth Oglevie puts the finishing touches of perfection on Floyd Mulford’s stylish Prom attire. 24 PROM

It was 10:17 a.m. and students walked out of their second period classes, half asleep with the thought that the day had just barely begun. Many scrounged for quarters and Homerooms’ Purpose Proves Worthwhile hurried to the cafeteria to push and shove for a chance at a doughnut. Then it was on to homeroom for ten minutes. What exactly is homeroom — its pleasures and purpose? The daily ten-minute break gives students a home base at school which remains the same for all three years of school. The student-teacher relationship has a chance to develop on an informal basis. Students experienced as many different approaches to homerooms as there were teachers to direct them. Challenges and contests proved popular in 83-84. Mrs. Eva Meinke’s homeroom challenged all others to contribute to the fund for Christopher Plummer, a local grade school boy who needed a bone marrow transplant. Over $1300 was raised. Some contests were confined to students in only one homeroom. Ron Bruening’s room held a balloon popping contest which required students to run, sit and pop! Meanwhile down the hall in room 211, Doug Brown directed his students in a bubble blowing challenge of gum. Ten minutes — a small segment of time in a long school day, but for many the time was important and mostly well-spent. It was a comfortable place to eat a doughnut everyday for three years. 26 STUDENT LIFE Jeff Walz works on some last minute homework, but can’t seem to get anything done with Mike Bowersox and Bonnie Fendrick, dlstui in£jjjm; Kelli Brown and Lynn Rosenbaum clown around after their lunch period.
