 Showboat sails to success The 1984 prom was sponsored by the class of '85. The theme was Showboat — A Night in Paradise. The class advisor, Mr. Shoup, along with several students, made three trips to Pittsburgh to pick out costumes and decorations. The boys spent most of the time doing carpentry work. They built the outside of the boat and three gazebos. The girls helped paint the boat, and everyone helped decorate the ceiling with crepe paper streamers. Upon entering the gym, a couple walked up the dock onto the deck of the boat where they were greeted by gamblers and the captain. They then walked inside the boat to a ballroom where they were served by waiters. The refreshment area was set off by a revolving column. Another addition to the prom was a waterfall, where underclassmen distributed hand made silk flowers. The Cubs, who provided the entertainment, differed from past years by their style of hard rock-n-roll selections of music unlike the traditional dance music from previous proms.
