Winding down a hectic year, the Drama Club along with many tal- ented students from the Valley put on the grand finale, the Viking Vari- eties on May 18, 1979. The Seniors made their final ap- pearance through a Senior Skit ti- tled The Butt Family”, also the Se- nior Vikettes with a routine to “Shake Your Groove Thing”. All night there was laughter, en- tertainment and tears as we said good-bye and good luck to the se- niors. Many memories, may be sought in a few years as you remem- ber the Swickettes, the first all-boy pom pon team, and the solo by Phil Smith. We, the staff, wish to take time to congratulate Beth Barr, Nancy Yeiter, Dale Pace, and Kevin Campbell on an excellent show. In closing the show, all the cast members sang the theme song “Feelin’ Groovy” along with the Masters of Ceremonies, Dane Jarvis, Tim Stokes, and Chuck Hurd.

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.
