riffin, Warchol reign at iOnee in a Lifetime, Candelabras burning among a sea of blue and gray balloons greeted 245 couples as they entered the Matteson Holiday Inn for Prom night May 50. Couples were able to dance to the music of the band, Yanks and a disc jockey who filled in during the band's breaks. Hav- ing both the band and the D.J. satislied everyone. When the band took a break, the D.J. took re- quests and tried to keep the atmosphere that the band had created, said Kathy Stout, senior. For the first time in re- cent years, dinner was in- cluded with the price of the Prom ticket. Couples helped themselves to the buffet style dinner which consisted of chicken, ham, and various salads and desserts. However, not all liked the idea of having dinner at the Prom. Being in a long dress, I did not think a buffet was proper. l would have rath- er gone to a restaurant of our choice, explained Stacey Bromm, junior. Also for the first time couples received a special memory book which in- cluded pictures of all the couples. Although the book added about S12 to the price of the tickets, most students felt it was worth the money. Receiv- ing a memory book was a S nice change. It gave the students something to re- member this special ex- perience with, comment- ed Jennifer Kovacs, sen- ior. After the ballots given to each person at the door were counted, it was time for the coronation. Chris Warchol and Mike Griffin were crowned King and Queen by Mamie Murphy, chairman of the prom committee. When the final song had been played, the last dance had been danced, and the last couple had left, this Once in a Life- time evening became a memory.
