EVENING IN PARADISE The thrill of spring was in the air on May 3, 1986, when the Junior class put on the Jr.-Sr. Prom at the Sturgis Holiday Inn. The girls dressed in pastel dresses and the guys in handsome tuxedoes spent the evening dancing to the sounds of the band Legend from 9:00 to 12:00 p.m. The Junior Class officers led the class throughout the year to raise money for the Prom, by holding magazine sales and dances. Their effort paid off when the decorating crew turned the Holiday Inn into a pretty, balloon-filled place where most everyone had a fantastic time. Upper — Rollie Flowers and Randy Stinnet with their dates, twins Janet and Julie Higgins, pause for a second during the Grand March which was put on so the parents could take pictures. Middle — John Kasdorf helps himself to the food trays and the cakes offered to those attending the Prom. Lower left — Jeff Swinehart and Lorinda Strong stand underneath the balloons.
