The “Witching Hour ” came late to River Forest this Halloween. Familiar figures from past eras including Dorothy and her friends from the Land of Oz and Dracula from Transylva- nia mingled with many of the latest stars like Jason from “Friday the 13th.” Even though the Hallow- een Dance was delayed, it had a large turnout. Approx- imately one-hundred fifty people attended the dance which was another opportu- nity for students to socialize with their friends and do a little monster mashing. The dance was sponsored by the Student Council and was held in the Ingot Room. The evening was highlighted by a costume judging contest which resulted in several winners. Mr. Tippett felt that there were too many spec- tacular costumes to pick just one winner in each of the three judged areas: weirdest, most original, and cutest. Approximately three to four winners in each catagory were picked. Music was furnished by D.J. Mike Niloff who spun many of the hottest new tunes from artists such as George Michael, Debbie Gib- son, and Tiffini. Miss Waluk, the new spon- sor of Student Council, said that the students had a spirited” time while danc- ing to they’re favorite songs, chatting with friends, en- joying refreshments, and of course, taking part in the costume contest. Some of the winning cos- tumes for the girls included old women costumes worn by Donna Collins and Jen- ella Norman, a geisha girl outfit worn by Marija Watts, and a Raggedy Ann costume worn by Gail Cecil. For the boys Anthony Alfono won with a scarecrow outfit and Jeff Holder won as a hoola girl. Not only did the students enjoy themselves but so did sponsor of the Student Council, Miss Waluk The yellow brick road leads Cathy Szwedo, Pete Otero, Marc Buehler, Anthony Alfono, and Stacey Lemley to an “ Ingotland bash. ” 22 HALLOWEEN

Dreams of Romance All of the decorations, the pink and purple bal- loons, streamers, and the very beautifully decorated twinkling suspension bridge were carefully assem- bled by the Juniors and Class Sponsors, Miss Wat- kins and Mrs. McNabb, to set a most romantic at- mosphere especially for prom goers Lianne Hoef- flicker, Robin Dotlich, Steve Crum and Bob Pearman. Tracy Pavy shows off her date Dan by saying, “checkout this smile!” Jeff Muha and his date, Me- gan, take a break from dancing to enjoy each others company. Tami Palmer and Jason Trusty enjoy a fun- filled night of dancing and romance. T he Saxon Hall in Merrillville was the scene of a most fes- tive event on May 7, the Junior-Senior Prom. Couples sporting tails and top hats and large- hooped dresses and par- isols attended this annu- al event. Excitement floated through the air that night amid pink, purple and silver decora- tions which conveyed the theme, “Dreams of Ro- mance.” Glassware, napkins, and booklets were the keepsakes of this gala affair. “Boogie Jack” spun a fantasy for the dreamers with the latest hits of Whitney Houston, Debbie Gibson, George Michael, and Mi- ami Sound Machine, as well as with classic songs such as the very famous “Mony Mony” by Tom- my James and the Shon- dells. The prom guests refreshed themselves with cookies, punch and Hors d’oeuvres. Along with the keepsakes and cherished memories of the special evening, the guests were photogra- phed by Midstates Pho- tography. Much effort was given by the Junior Class and by the Class Sponsors, Miss Terry Watkins and Mrs. Pat McNabb to make the 1988 Prom one of the most enjoyable and successful ever. 24 PROM
