Breathtaking Junior parents volunteer as valets, escort Students to add helpful touch to festivities It was a rainy Saturday evening, but the weather didn't dampen the high spirits shared by students attending the Junior-Senior Prom. The junior parents made the night a little more special by acting as valets and escorting students to the door. After students had been safely escorted inside and had their pictures taken, it was time to proceed into the gym. Everyone who entered the gym was impressed by the excellent job the junior class did. They spent all day Friday converting the ordinary gym into a refreshing tropical paradise. Kory Crippen, John Studebaker, Mr. Bruening and I stayed until 2 AM working on the ceiling, explained Troy Test. Then Mr. Bruening told us to go home and to come back and finish it in the morning. Well, when we left we put a rug in the door and then we snuck back inside. We ended up working until 4 AM. The theme song for this year's Prom was Take My Breath Away by Berlin. Singing the Prom theme were Tim DeFor, Karl Koelling, Pam Johnson, and Angie Nass. Bill Maltas also sang while accompanying the group on the synthesizer. Reinging as 1987 Prom king and queen were Eric Otten and Melissa Wendt. “I thought the juniors did an excellent job with the decorations, said Otten. I also had a lot of fun being king for a night. I was really honored to be crowned Prom queen, said Wendt. It made Prom more fun. Providing entertainment for the evening was a band from Kansas City called Fast Forward. After the dance was the annual post prom party sponsored by the senior parents. Several prizes were given away which were donated by Norfolk merchants. After the party there were many tired, but happy students. Some went out for ■ an early morning breakfast, while others went home to recover from the energetic evening. -J.Becker Prom servers Amy Nelson, Kristin Boulden, and Jill Sekutera share a joke with students. They are a few of the freshmen that helped serve refreshments. Lisa Arens enjoys being 9 escorted to the door by Mr. Larson, while Mr. Van roni Ackreren looks on.

Unforgettable Basketball victory, Valentine's Day help make Winter Royalty memorable for all involved The noisy gym, crowded with eager eyes, hushed as the candidates made their way to the stage. In a short time, two of them would be crowned Winter Royalty king and queen. Anticipation filled the air while the theme song, Tonight I Celebrate My Love , was sung. When the song was over, Sean Wiley and Jodi Sekutera stepped up to the microphone and announced that David Holloway and Susan Farrens had been chosen 1987 Winter Royalty king and queen. I was so nervous waiting for the king and queen to be announced that when my name was called I wasn't sure if I had heard it right, said Holloway. It was an honor just being a candidate, let alone being crowned queen,” said Farrens. Following coronation the annual Winter Royalty dance, sponsored by the Student Council, was held in the Forum. After the dance Joel Reimer held a special breakfast at his house for all the candidates. Having a breakfast gave people who usually don't do things together a chance to get to know each other better, stated Reimer. Whether one was a candidate or just went to Winter Royalty to have fun, the evening was one that students will remember for a long time. - J.Becker Singing the Winter Royalty theme, Tonight I Celebrate My Love, are Mindy Hamilton, Kyle Hughes, Kim Carlson, Sean Gutman, Ken Smith, and Angie Toline. They are accompianied by Tina Steele on the piano. Winter Royalty T
