Junior class changes tradition Alicia Jacobs was crowned queen at the Junior Senior Prom held Saturday evening. May 8, at the Ballwin Recreational Center. Cathy Moffatt, last year's queen, now a freshman at the University of Missouri at Columbia, returned to crown Alicia and to present her with a bouquet of roses. The junior class used the theme The future's so bright and decorated the room in black, white and silver. Everyone that attended the Prom received a memory book and a souvenir champagne glass. Black sung- lasses were also given and worn when the theme song, Future's So Bright I've Got to Wear Shades'', was played. This was the first year that the Junior Senior Prom did not fea- ture a dinner. The Junior class decided that since in previous years many students complained about the dinners, we would let everyone eat what they wanted before they arrived, said junior Jennifer Walker. Instead there was soda and hors d'oeuvres served. Also, senior wills and junior prophecies were posted instead of being read. I had a lot of fun. If Prom was the same thing every year, it would be boring, said junior Kurt Bergmark. ‘ Take My Breath Away' by Berlin was the most popular song, everyone danced, said junior Kurt Bermark “The sunglasses put some fun into the dancing. said junior Sally Harrington. 12 Prom

Coronation gets late start Several days before home- coming, rumors were flying that homecoming was going to be canceled or the coronation would be moved to Saturday or the coronation was going to be held at 6:30 rather than after the basketball games. The problem centered around the fact that Karen and Patty were on the girls' basketball team and they were playing for first place in the St. John's tournament that night. “It was going to be such a tight schedule to get back and be dressed for the coronation when we didn't begin playing until 8:30. Mrs. Frestel and Coach Gregston were looking for other options for the coronation, said Patty. The inconvenience was felt by candi- dates Carolyn Sidwell and Shelly Van Hook who each had large numbers of relatives and friends planning to attend the corona- tion at 9:30. “I had relatives flying in from out of town and couldn't get here by 6:30, said Shelly Van Hook. After much dilemma the time was adjusted to start the J.V. at 6:30 instead of 6 p.m. J.V. boys beat St. Johns 57 to 38 and Varsi- ty tromped the lions 74 to 34. The boys game ended at 9:30 and the crowd had to wait an hour and fifteen minutes for the coro- nation to begin. The girls took second place. Because of the late hour, the homecoming dance was only held from 11 to midnight. The fee charged for admission was can- celled. Its fun to get all dressed up for dances because there are very few.” said Jenny German Lets go eat some pizza after the dance.” suggested Tammy Powell. Homecoming 11
