For many, the night of May 10, 1986, proved to be a very fun, meaningful and memorable experience. The 1986 prom, Tonight It ' s You, was held at the Holiday Inn North- west. After a Salisbury steak dinner, couples danced to the music of The Edge. Halfway through the evening ' s festivities, the senior awards were given to a few select seniors. As the clock struck 10:00, the King, Queen, and Court were announced. Second runners -up: Cortney Schwartz and Pam Tonight It ' s You Martin, first runners -up: Nick Lengacher and Tania Chapman. Crowned King and Queen were Stan Gerig and Amy Bowers. After the coronation, couples went their sep- arate ways to the lake, out for breakfast, or to a friend ' s house. Junior Brad Bowditch summed up the evening this way: I had a lot of fun, my date looked great and my car was awesome. Junior Kym Campbell com- mented: It was my first prom and it was fun walking around in my dress. Prom is a perfect time to get together with close friends as shown by Stan Gerig, Cortney Schwartz, Tim Gerig, and their dates. Court members Nick Lengacher and Cortney Schwartz look on as Donna Nott crowns Stan Gerig prom king.
