The band Superstition provided the entertainment for the evening. the Junior class worked under bad conditions to get ready for the Prom with only 10 juniors at the most helping. Mrs. Jenkins, junior class sponsor, Stated, I felt that the fewjuniors who helped did an . excellent job under adverse conditions, and all those 58wProm that attended had a good time, but attendance was IOWer than usual. They also ran into problems with the hotel management. But all around, Prom turned into a nice evening for everyone. Debbie Hofmann and Jeff Dean take time from between dances to take pictures and have one taken of themselves. Eric Parker Seems'to have lost his partner.
