Let ' s Dance! The 1988-89 Junior-Senoir Prom was definetly a Night on the Town. For those who attended it was a night to re- member. It was held Friday, April 28 at the Century Cen- ter. The music was provided by The Groove who proved to be a big hit. This year a man- datory dinner wasn ' t enforced, and students dined at the many restaurants around town. Vikki VanOverberg com- mented on the prom stating, I thought the Junior class did an excellent job with the decora- tions and the turnout was great. It was successful in bringing unity between the Junior and Senior classes. Mary McNeill feels, This was a big improvement over last year in making it a night to remember. Overall, the atmosphere of the Prom was perfect. The ro- mance, the friendships, and the unity of the evening will offer many memories in years to come. Mike Palmer was excit- ed about prom saying, It was truly the best Prom I had ever been to, and went on saying, It ' s the only Prom. 22 Prom

Oklahoma! ' Oklahoma! ' , the 1989 Spring Musical, was one of the best St. Joe has performed in years! , says Heather Heller, senior. This classic Rogers and Hammerstein musical, direct- ed by Lynn Timmons, takes place in early twentieth centu- ry Oklahoma. The play ' s theme centers itself on the love story of Curly (Nathan Gunn), a de- bonaire young cowboy, falls in love with Laurey (Katy Bla- key), a beautiful young co- quette.

The evil character of Judd (Sean Nolan) fights Curly for Laur- ey ' s hand in marraige, and Aunt Eller (Jen Marvel) gives everyone helpful advice. Senior, Mario Borelli, a member of the male chorus, said Although practices were an intense amount of work, St. Joe put on the best ' Oklaho- ma! ' South Bend has ever seen!
