Dena And Brad Reign As Queen And King When the announcement was made at the May 9 prom dance, there was a new king and queen and their names were Dena Os- trander and Brad Brown. These two were selected by stu- dent ballot from the list of candi- dates. Seniors on the ballot included Jerry Dasher, Brian Bresnahan, Brad Brown, Chris Winscot and Robie Church. Queen candidates were Dena, Tami McGowan, Dawn Henry, Amy Wehrbein and Bekkijo Barkus. Junior attendants were Chad Hart, David Klanecky, Troy Ferdig, Jamie Clark and Scott Nath. Junior female attendants were Roxi Bradway, Marcya Levering, April Beasley, Kirsten Kolhof and Kelly Ogle. Dena and Brad reigned over the crowd at the Quality Inn ballroom in Bellevue, This marked the first time that prom was held outside of the high school. But before the night ar- rived there was much work done. Class officers began early in the year exploring the idea of moving prom. Class sponsors Jeff Wiles and Ralph Tarnasky encouraged the class members to gather evidence as to whether the idea was feasible. Telephone surveys were con- ducted and also junior and senior class members were given a ballot questionnaire to complete. Also, class officers, David Klanecky, Troy Ferdig, April Beasley and Roxi Brad- way, checked into the cost of area restaurants and clubs. The surveys showed that a clear majority favored a move and the research showed that the cost would not be prohibitive. On February 9, students present- ed their findings to the school board and gained approval to move the prom. Queen Dena Ostrander and King Brad Brown after the coronation Roxi Bradway and Da- vid Klanecky were honored as junior atten- dants Prom Royalty 27

Prom music was provided by a disc jockey Pictured are Senior Matt McDonald and his date and Junior Scott Nath and Senior Tracy Henner Another Thought I thought that prom this year went really well. The juniors did a great I job with working to move the prom to Crown Court in Bellevue and also with the decorations. Officers David Klanecky and Troy Ferdig worked especially hard and I think all the seniors appreciated it. I was really honored to be voted queen this year and it was nice to reign with Brad Brown. — Senior Dena Ostrander

'Endless Dream' Begins at 6:30 p.m. As the dancing went on, the ballroom became warmer. Senior Spencer Pohlmeier took off his jack- et to be more comfortable The ballroom at Quality Inn was decorated with balloons and streamers. Shown are Senior Michelle Wilson and her date. Another Thought The 1987 prom will be long remem- bered. First of all, the student input about getting prom out of school was a major factor. Then some backup in- formation was needed to show that people were for the change. After we found the the majority of students were for the change we also had to do a parent survey. The result was a majority. Then came the tough part — pro- posing it in front of the school board. The board voted 4-2 in favor of having the prom at Quality Inn in Bellevue. The junior class is to be congratulat- ed for all the work and also our spon- sors, Mr. Tarnasky and Mr. Wiles. — Class President David Klanecky Senior Steve Umholtz and Sophomore Moni- ca Duckworth at the Quality Inn ballroom. “Complete Music” played records for the prom crowd.
