Prom Was Night of Knights Finding a knight in shining armor is every girl's dream and on May 20 each girl who attended the 1977 Junior-Sen- ior Prom found hers. The theme “Knights in White Satin’’ brought to reality each girl’s fantasy of being carried off by her handsome knight. The memorable night began with a royal feast at the Lion’s Club. Then every one went to the girls' gymnasium, which was decorated in a fashion of an old castle, to attend the formal dance. A drawbridge made an entrance to present a world of make believe before one's very eyes. While the band Burgundy filled the air with romantic tunes, a host of waiters and waitresses served refreshments and performed the songs Camelot,” “My White Knight, and “Nights in White Satin. Afterwards, the festivities con- tinued into the early hours of the morning with an after dance at the Lion’s Club. 28 Prom Top Left: Jim Dehn, Brian Sommer, and Allen Baue assemble the drawbridge entrance to the castle of the white knights Top Right: At the for mal dance, the rock group Burgundy played an arrangement of songs from rock to ballads to please all Right: Adding the final touches to the ceiling decorations.
