So stormy that couples who went out for dinner found themselves in darkened restaurants and students taking money atithe Gance had to work by candle- liGAT Guring several brief power outages So stormy that the DJs were late BUT nobody seemed to mind much. So many people came to the Feb. 16 girl- ask-guy formal that they had to play musical chairs: “When you’d go to dance, people would take your tabie,”’ said Tawny Weaver “| love any reason to put on a fancy dress and go out for dinner and danc- ing.” said Molly Strohecker. And in 1986, both dancing and dressing up were in! Guys shelled out 50 bucks for tuxes; bare shoulders, pumps, rhinestones, and hot-rolled bobs were female favorites The Sno-Ball Court was: Seniors Ginger Ford and King Tom Butler. Juniors Traci Earl and Eric Bergerson. Sophomores Queen Jeannine Ward and Bill Wester- holm. Freshmen Dawn Buzzard and Matt Clark A SNO BALL PORTRAIT meant waiting in a ongiine but Leisa Gilbertson and Gabriel Coke waited. TOP.

ancing after the home game By Molly Strohecker t's Friday night and the home game is over. The bleachers are empty, except for popcorn sacks and hot chocolate cups left behind on the ground and benches. The screaming crowd is gone, and the fields silent and dark. But the crowd of students from the game is now crowding to get inside the school U2 blares out the doors. | scrounge up a dollar-fifty for single admission, then head for the dance floor, searching for familiar faces in the dark It was a familiar routine for stu- dents after home games. The dances were nothing fancy — a few decorations and tapes pro- vided by the sponsoring club — but they were a chance to cut loose a little and socialize Sometimes Ken Link and Rick Lee would draw a crowd break dancing when good rap music was played The punks could slam dance. You could do the swim, the worm, or the Russian kick. Slow dances were a Pues ary wey 4 : 4 wa.) favorite of couples. You could dedi- cate a love song to a secret flame Anything could happen! By 10:30 the cafeteria was hot and stuffy — and half empty as people drifted away to parties When the lights came on at 11:30, pupils contracted and dazed danc- ers headed to the pay phone to get rides home, euphoria or disappoint- ment over who won or lost earlier replaced by tired contentment. Dancing can do that “| WAS JUST JAMMIN’ OUT” said senior T.J. Bonney whose partner for this dance was freshman Tracy Poulin FRESHMAN PARTY ANIMAL John Reece liked rock- ing the night away. “i call this the funky chicken,” he said. Freshman Janelle Smits seems impressed “| DON’T KNOW WHAT | WAS DOING,” said junior Shannon Davis (far left). “| don’t usually dance like that!”’ “| LIKE WATCHING other people dance fo get ideas, said freshman Jenny Vail (left). Said partner Rob Nipp, “! go to dances mainly to socialize with everyone.” 44 Dances

uttin’ on the Ritz By Tawny Weaver What will people remember about the JuniorSenior Prom Saturday, April 19? “$S66INgQ everyone all dressed up for the last time, especially Keith,” said Gina Sansef. Said Ken Ouellette: ‘Walking around a bunch of drunks downtown wearing a tux and carrying a wad of money. And the elk head above the band really added to the effect.” “| heard the decorations were nice,” said Steve Parson (he didn’t go). Said Jeff Blissett: ‘We were eating dinner while watching the Holmes-Spinks fight and Spinks started coughing up snot.” “Crawling under the table in a tux with a candle at the Shilo looking for Kim's diamond pin,’’ said Josh Tuckman “Being outside getting alittle air when they called the princesses up,” said prin- cess Shelly Morris Said Mark Buzzell: ‘| was taking tickets at the door and | went backstage to get something. One of the girls in the band had her top off!’’ Vince Stamper, who avoided costly tux rental by sewing his own, and who made the outrageous prom poster, will recall arriving at 8:00 p.m. ready to shuf- fle off to Buffalo with Mien Street. But the lights at the Elks were on and the band wasn't even set up. So he and date GINGER FORD WAS QUEEN of the 1986 Prom and wore the same dress her mother wore to her senior prom in 1957. The dapper-looking Bob Stockenberg said When I’m older, I'll remember how happy | was for her. It was one of the memorabie moments of my senior yeor Anything Can Happen, of course, and when ASB President Tom Adams went to give the newly-crowned and nervous queen a kiss, she leaned forward and konked him on the head Karla McFadden drove to the Cove and watched the sunset until 8:30 Head junior class advisor George Sta- cey stood around on Prom night in a dark blue suit dipping strawberries into the warm, melted milk chocolate. But he had been busy previous weeks orga- nizing the event. “Everybody helped out and followed through,” he said “Only next time | would’t inflate the drooping balloons until 3 hours before the dance.” A ROMANTIC MOMENT. Lewis Doyle and Kris Karge sat this one out. Said Doyle: “! was sitting at the table gazing through the candlelight into Kris’s beautiful green eyes, reminiscing about the won- derful evening that was aimost over. Suddenly we saw a spider crawling over the heaping colander of strawberries.” SLOW DANCES. “There weren't enough siow songs,’” said princess Michelle Stahly. When there were, almost everyone danced. Why? Said Gina Sanseri: “Slow dancing lets you communicate bet- ter rather than yelling at your partner above the loud music.” PROM PAIN? Meagan Erikson found out minutes before her date Erin Ayles arrived that her dress was too big. To hold it up, she used biack-pointed beads that chewed and scratched at her all night long She seems to be enjoying this dance despite the pain FASHIONABLY LATE, Jay Hensieigh and Melissa Bas- tiani arrive at the Elks. Hensieigh wore a full, biack- tailed tuxedo and Bastiani complimented him with a matching dress
