New format attracts students Prom 1981 was certainly the first of its kind for Thornwood. A new location, band, and eating arrange- ments were chosen to compliment the memorable evening. Looking Through The Eyes of Love was held at the Palos Hills Country Club in Palos Park on May 22. More danc- ing was done than in previous years because of the overwhelming popu- larity of Lord Ashley, the band se- lected as the entertainment for the dance. The new eating arrange- ments consisted simply of hors d'oeuvres. Swedish meatballs, pizza, miniature hot dogs, egg rolls, and after dinner mints kept hungry dates quieted throughout the even- ing.
