“STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN” The 1974 Junior-Senior Prom was held at Century 21 in Champaign-Urbana on May 3rd. This was the first time in many years that prom was held anywhere other than Kankakee. The evening began with a buffet-style dinner and continued with the dance featuring BBC . The room was decorated with silver and blue stars and blue streamers. The theme was Stairway to Heaven , a very appropriate one since the prom was held on the twentieth floor of the lovely, new Champaign Hilton. While the Juniors were planning this prom, they hoped it would be one that nobody would ever forget, and they feel that they succeeded. This was the best attended prom Onarga had had in many years. 27
