The junior class raised more money this year than ever before, from their magazine sales. The juniors put on the entire prom which included being in charge of hiring a band, decorating, refresh- ments and buying gifts for the royalty. Teez from Lincoln was the bond for the evening. Their music included various syles such as rock, disco, a little country and some soft slow songs. The ballroom was decorat- ed in pastel blue, pink, yellow, green and orange streamers to odd a refreshed spring effect. A small white wicker gazebo was the cenral attrac- tion as every couple posed in front of it to get their pictures taken. Greg Mora and Tracy Schade were selected King and Queen by the junior class.
