Over 100 couples were “Swaying to the Music April 29, as the class of ’79 presented the Junior-Senior Prom. At 8:30, after a banquet dinner in the commons, the gym doors were opened and everyone entered the brightly decorated room. With flash- ing lights, pastel streamers, and a running fountain, it hardly seemed like a high school gymnasium. Cox Studio provided a scenic background for couples wishing to have their picture taken. The special evening continued with three hours of “slow dancing” music by the American Freedom Band. The Romance and enchantment of the prom were evident as the dance floor filled with couples during such songs as “Precious and Few, “Feel- ings,” and the theme song, “Swaying to the Music.” The high point of the night came when Eric Alspaugh and Vicki Ar- nett were crowned Prom King and Queen. Mark Holt and Suzanne French were chosen from junior representatives to serve as Duke and Duchess. Midnight found everyone chang- ing from long dresses and tuxedoes to more casual attire. Couples re- laxed as more American Freedom music or a movie “Uptown Saturday Night, were offered for after-prom activities. Officially, the Prom of “78 ended at 2:30, but the special memories it provided will remain forever.

This spring, the Drama Club mem- bers decided to broaden the scope of their acting abilities and attempt to present a non-musical, non-comical play. Mrs. Barr, the club sponsor, se- lected a short, one-act play called ‘‘Heritage. This hour-long produc- tion was presented May 19, in tan- dem with the Viking Variety Show, which proved to be a very profitable endeavor for the Drama Club. “Heritage used characterization, narration, pantomime, and special lighting effects to tell the behind- the-scenes story of Abraham Lin- coln and his family. The small cast consisted of Mark Shriver, Christine Rhoades, Teresa Petrosky, Dane Jer- vis, Matt Johnson, Lorie Crippen, Daphne Keplinger, Ken Goodman, and Patty Doering. As usual the “Viking Varieties” provided many laughs, tears and memorable moments for its au- dience. This year's show featured our own high school rock band, VIPRE. Julie Utter appeared with two songs that she composed her- self. The Way We Were” was dedi- cated to the senior class by Patty Doering, and Judy Conner and “Friend” performed “Send In the Clowns for the last time. In the laugh department, there was the Barbershop Quartet with their very own famous version of “Conie Island Baby,” a group of “purple peacocks,” and “Guitarzan by the Jungle 4.” The show was closed with the en- tire cast singing “May Tomorrow Be A Perfect Day,” and a cheerful “Goodnight everybody, from the MC’s, Greg Hoover and Steve Kruger. 23
