Following the tradition, the junior class was in charge of money-raising, planning, and decorating for the annual prom. When prom prepara- tions began, the juniors be- came very excited, as this was the first prom they were able to attend. The juniors ' first step into this time-consuming responsi- bility came during Swiss Days in July of ' 79. They set up a food stand selling rossettes; and many juniors participated in this somewhat tedious, yet fun project. Even Dr. Skinner was seen under the hot tent frying rossettes along with the students. Another project the juniors used to raise money was to or- ganize a coat check for each home basketball game. Ju- niors were not so eager to work during the games; but all in all, they worked togeth- er very cooperatively. When prom planning time rolled around, the junior class had nearly $2,000 to work with. With Mrs. Yake and Mr. Mertz as advisors, four com- mittees were formed. Each of these dealt with different as- pects of prom preparations. After periodic meetings over 4-5 months, the plans and de- cisions of all four committees were finally put together. The theme of prom was Castle of Dreams. Follow- ing the theme, the cafeteria area was transformed into a huge castle, complete with drawbridge, iron fence, and high brick walls surrounding the courtyard. continued on page 20

Castle of Dreams The couples began arriving at 6:00 p.m., and pictures were taken until 7:00. Then the dinner began which was ca- tered by the Palmer House. Following the meal, the cou- ples went into the auditorium to see the movie The Deep ; and this lasted until 10:30. After the movie, the dance be- gan, featuring the band ' Choice . Many of the couples started leaving near the end of the dance, but a few die-hards re- mained until 1:15 when the band quit playing. After the prom, most couples attended private parties or went out for breakfast. The prom area looked really fantastic, and it was fun for all who attended. This was one way that the juniors could show the seniors how much they appreciated them in the three years of high school to- gether. KAREN Roop, Gerri Augsbur- ger, and Sheryl Ams- tutz boogie down to the music of Choice . ROBIN Boese is enjoying the dancing while Kelly Caffee and Tami Laux seem to be having problems.
