Juniors chose Sagebrush Sashay for the theme at a class meeting in March. The sidewalls of the gymnasium were decorated with scenes of a desert sunset and a street scene from a ghost town. Other decorations along the walls were a watering trough, hitching post and a genuine surrey where the pictures were taken by Howard Studio. There was a western farm scene on the stage with wagon wheels and a saloon at the other end of the gym called Emma's. The band, Arrival, played on the stage for the dance sec- tion of the prom. Dinner of turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, peas, tossed salad, and rolls and butter was served with an appetizer of cheese and crackers and dessert of chocolate or butterscotch sundaes. Waiters were dressed as cowboys. After dinner, juniors Jim Wilson and Scott Johnston gave the Invocation and Wel- come, and Diane Gelvin, senior, responded. For entertainment, Scott England read the Class History and Tishia Friel gave the Prophecy for the Class of '81. After the dance, at approximately one o'clock, students and teachers drove to the Cinema 4 ' ” 5 in Heath to see either The Jazz Singer or Hardly Working.
