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.

Individuality Students' unique bedrooms display creativity While providing privacy, relaxation for all 22 Feature Everyone needs a place to go when he wants to be alone, a place to escape from annoying siblings or demanding parents. A place where he can turn up the stereo and just relax. A place that belongs to no one else... a bedroom. Junior Brad Schroeder had a very large bedroom. It was split-level and was big enough for a couch, television, two fish tanks, and a baby grand piano. If I could change one thing about my room, said Schroeder, I would put a hot tub in my bathroom. Senior Sara Turay was another individual who had a unique bedroom. Turay's cozy hideaway contained wall-to-wall dolls, numerous posters, and even a dressed mannequin. I like to collect dolls, so I get them for every occasion. They've just added up over the years, commented Turay. Dave Tusek, a sophomore, was the owner of a spacious bedroom. Hanging on one wall of his room was an enormous sailboat sail. I have two sails, explained Tusek, one I use for windsurfing and the other I decided to hang on my wall. Shelly Meinke, a sophomore, had an ordinary bedroom until the summer before she entered high school. With the help of her friends, she transformed her room into a haven of pastel colors, artwork, and other graffiti. I had ugly wallpaper and my mom wouldn’t let me paint my walls because the wallpaper had to be taken off. Anyway, I got so sick of the wallpaper that I ripped it off myself. Then my friends helped me paint the walls, said Meinke. Everyone's bedroom was a special place. Whether it was big or small, messy or neat, a bedroom was a unique reflection of its occupant. -J. Becker Dave Tusek sits beside his sail. He purchased it in South Dakota. VI
