It’s 4:30. It's time to get around for one of the main events of the year. As a young lady prepares for this spe- cial night, she walks into the bath- room and closes the door behind her. She comes out one hour later and she looks sensational. Her hair looks the best it ever has. She goes upstairs, and walks into her room. There it is: the dress made especially for her. She slips it on, turns to the mirror, and is amazed by the beauty of herself. She turns and hears a car pull in. She walks over to the window and looks out. It is her date. She walks out of her room and goes to the stairs. She glides down them. When she is finally at the bottom of the stairs, she looks up, and there he is, the man of her dreams. They walk toward each other and as their eyes meet, corsage and boutonnier are exchanged. With a little extra love in his heart he gives her six lovely red roses. They turn and carefully walk out the door toward the car. They Mr. Cumerland and Mrs. Toetz just can't wait to dig in to the food. The King. Doug Dickerhoff, and the Queen, Vicki Mattix, are crowned. Sweet Dreams are finally ready to leave for their destination. They arrived at Amish Acres on April 24. The dinner promptly started at 7:00. After the dinner, at 8:30, prom pictures were taken. By 9:00 the band, Limited Edition, started playing. The couples started danc- ing, as there was love in the air. The highlight of the evening was the nam- ing of King and Queen, and Duke and Dutchess. The Prom King was Doug Dicker- hoff and Queen was Vicki Mattix. Duke was Pat Lafferty and Dutchess was Jane Whetstone. At the after prom there was a movie, American Graffiti, and refreshments. Who said that Sweet Dreams never come true?

That’s Entertainment Once again it was time for the Vi- king Varieties. As the floor lights dimmed, and the stage lights were turned on, the em- cees. Roni Baker, Luann Knoop, Onda Shafer, Jerry Meadows, Miles Thompson, and Paula Shireman, welcomed the parents and students to another fun and entertaining evening. There were many acts, including: The Vikettes, The Chipmunks Gone Punk, a visit from the wicked witch and her arch enemy the Lone Senior Rodney Smythe, one of the chipmunks, punks out on his keyboard. with his trusty coach, Charlie, the ever popular Swikettes, and the cheer- leaders. About the middle of the show was the crowning of the Saga King and Queen. The nominees were: freshmen, Steve Lester and Michelle Keplinger; sopho- mores, Joey Hawkins and Krista Martin; juniors, David Chaney and Mindy Creighton; and seniors, Chris Manns and Karen Wright. The winners were chosen by how much money they brought in from the “penny-a-vote” held the week before the show. The winners were Chris Manns and Michelle Keplinger. The evening was a great success, and everyone, whether they were part of the audience or part of the show, had a lot of fun.
