ribe plans perfect paradise The dimmed lights, the swaying couples, and the rhythms of Canyon were just a few of the factors that helped set the mood for Tribe's Homecoming. Homecoming '80 was the best ever, especially the band and decorations! raved Elena Katsaros. While Homecoming was Tribe's largest event of the year, there were other activities sponsored by the or- ganization. Soon after Homecoming the members of Tribe searched for an idea that would take the place of the Christmas dance, which was dis- continued because of lack of atten- dance. One member suggested re- viving the pow wow, at one time a traditional dance held after every home basketball game. The after- game bash was entitled Singles J in- gle, and anyone who wanted to pay one dollar was invited to join in the fun. Towards the middle of the school year a new craze came about. Stu- dents started wearing western para- phenalia. Tribe utilized the idea to sponsor a western dance, Rockin' Out West.

rom committee reduces costs During the month of October, ap- plications for the twenty positions of Prom Committee ciruculated throughout Thornwood. With over 120 applications received, sponsor Mrs. Jean Kenar assumed the task of a detailed selection with a teacher review committee. After grueling weeks of tallying and questioning, Mrs. Kenar selected the twenty members who volunteered for the job of planning Thornwood's 1981 Prom. Chairperson Kim Alcock led the committee through the decision- making process. The greatest alter- 5 : X 22? --.N 4.

The selection of hors d'oeuvres instead of a com- plete meal lowered the cost of Fri- day night prom tickets from S50 to 325. Traditionally, Thornwood's Prom is celebrated in a restaurant or at a banquet hall, but this year's commit- tee members decided upon an even- ing at the Palos Hills Country Club, with entertainment by Lord Ashley. Choosing brandy snifters and de- signing fourfold bids completed the tasks for the members of the com- mittee.
