The lights were dim and the stars were twinkling. As you entered you walked over a bridge, beneath was a pond filled with water. The bright city overlooked a simple city park. Then began the big evening of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom, of ’79. At 8:00, after the banquet dinner in the commons served by Maggie’s, was picture taking for any of those couples who wished to have them taken. Cox studio took the pictures and the juniors made the scenic background. The band, “High Fly- ers” made the night special as couples danced for three hours, with romance filling the air. The high point of the night came when Chewy Secrist and Sandy Mattix were crowned Prom King and Queen. Scott Tilden and Norma Knoop were chosen from the junior representatives to serve as Duke and Duchess. Midnight found everyone changing from long dresses and tuxedoes to more casual attire. Couples relaxed as the band, “Roaster” presented ji- vin' after-prom music. The cartoon “Pink-a-rella” was shown 10 minutes before the movie Silverst- reak.” These activities kept couples busy for after-prom entertainment. Officially, at 2:30 a.m., the Prom of '79 ended, but the special memories will last forever.
