■ Off we go intothe wild, blue., .pool? 7:30 p.m.: “Attention, ladies and gentlemen, this is your pilot speaking. Fasten your seat belts and prepare for takeoff. Your Aqua World ' 77 jet will soon be embarking on a journey to twelve foreign countries. Prepare yourselves for a few unexpected events and the chance to dabble in foreign cultures on our two- hour trip around the world. Two hours, you say? Yes, it is possible with the help of your imagination. “Just sit back, relax, and let your hosts, the Aquanauts, take you on a journey through international sights and sounds. Your head stewardess for the evening is Mrs. Marsha Petro. Even though she ' s new at the job. I ' m sure she’ll make your trip enjoyable.

Ahem, we ' re now landing in the jungles of darkest Africa. Watch out for the ape — he looks vicious. 9:00 p.m.: “Good evening! I almost froze to death back there in Antarctica, even though I did like all those penguins splashing around. We ' ll soon be warming up at the bullfights in Mexico, where we’ll make our last stop before returning home. 9:30 p.m.: “Welcome home, ladies and gentlemen. Believe it or not, the twinkling lights you see below us belong to Chicago. We ll be landing shortly at O’Hare Field. Fasten your seat belts and prepare for landing. And thank you for flying Aqua World ' ll.” 1. In preparation for a chilly number from Ant- arctica, penguin Lori Lethen dabs greasepaint on fellow freshman Kim Simon. 2.

r Under the moon, down to the wire “Here are your announcements. Pep Club meets today in Lecture A . . . Post-prom tickets are on sale in the office for $18 per couple . . . The 1977 Prom may be cancelled due to lack of interest.” This startling announcement shocked the VHS student body into action. No longer apathetic, the juniors began to put in longer and harder hours, with some students laboring into the wee hours of the morning. The week before Prom was absolutely frantic, with kids work- ing right up to the last minute. But on May 20, when over 240 couples found themselves “Under a Tropical Moon,” they were pleasantly surprised to see how well things had turned out. The island” was an ex- otic place, complete with sandy beaches, cascading waterfalls, and lush green plants everywhere. The climate in the gym was indeed “tropical,” as temperatures during the day had soared to 93 degrees. The low, false ceiling added to the heat, and dancers began to wish the ocean murals were real enough to provide a bit of cooling spray. “Chameleon” played on, and boys re- moved tux jackets, while their dates took off shoes and wilting flowers. At 11:30 prom-goers hastil y gath- ered up their paraphernalia and hurried to the V.U. Student Union for the traditional post-Prom ac- tivities. Upon arrival, couples were welcomed aboard the seaworthy “Delta Queen.” It seemed that this luxury showboat had been thoroughly modernized, except for the faculty air conditioning, which provided more authentic Southern heat. Stu- dents passed the hours eating a leisurely dinner, dancing, having portraits sketched, and bowling, as well as playing pool, and pin ball. As the sun once again prepared to do its famous sizzle number, weary students dragged themselves off to bed. After catching a few short winks, kids packed their gear for the annual day-after excursions to nearby recreational areas. V 1. Bob Dorroll and Mary Harrington try out new dance steps as they get down to the music of Chameleon.” 2. Technological advances are in evidence at Post Prom as Scott Rheinhertz and Jim Wie ncken engage in an electronic game of ping pong while Melanie Taylor looks on. 3. A secluded booth on the lower deck of A Mississippi Riverboat gives Jim Smith, Steve Clauss, Kim Nuppnau, Beth Vondran, and Mark Buckley a chance to relax and socialize. 4. Minus dress shoes and tie, Chris Wood and Terri Schroeder give up on formalities as they depart from Prom after three heated hours of dancing. 5. Oblivious to heights and humidity, junior Kay Cooley attaches crepe paper streamers to the suspended wire ceiling. 6. Prepared to down her opponent, Kathy Nelson displays skill and concentration as she shoots pool at the V.U. Union. 7. Prom couples take a moment to ward off the effects of the unusally warm May evening with punch and cookies. Prom
