It ' s the guy ' s chance to get slicked up. It ' s the girl ' s chance to play dress up. For 142 couples it was the Junior-Senior Prom... REMEMBERING ing mmediately fol- lowing Spring Break, Prom Awareness Week dominated Y.H.S. Guvs without dates desperately sought after any decent, female. Those girls without dates flocked around the guys with flirta- tious smiles and girlish grins. Those 142 couples who did suc- ceed in landing a date for the occa- sion gathered on April 20 at the Carolina Room, located above the Village Bowl in Muncie. Sponsoring the dance, the Junior class sold magazine subscriptions in the fall to raise the $2,100 needed. The rate the magazine sales are going, this year ' s prom will be held in the parking lot under a tent, rang out on the school announce- ments each day during the sales. The decline of subscriptions sold was saved by $500 that was left over from candy sales during their fresh- man year, accord- ing to Business Manager Eric Todd. Other class officers combined to make the night a success by meeting and planning with dance sponsors Marilyn Nay- lor, Barbara Gooden, Sally Parris and Phil Kammerer. Junior class Secretary Connie Bousman stated, The planning of it all was a lot of fun and we were proud when we saw the final product. An attractive atmosphere of light slue, lavender and white draped the room. With Remember the Feeling Derek Neff as its theme song, the music was by Diversified Sounds, with Randy Baird as the disc jockey. I thought having a disc jockey was a lot better than a live band because you could hear the songs you wanted-the way you were used to hearing them, stated Senior Amy Williams. Senior Jennifer Barrick was crowned as Prom Queen with Senior escort Dane Carpenter. Seniors Pam Fullenwider, Heidi Schepp, Rhonda Pearson and Amy Williams were members of the Queen ' s Court. When the Queen was crowned and the clock struck mid- night, it was time to get out of those tight neck-ties and hooped skirts and into something a little more comfortable. The Post-Prom party was held in the bowling alley down- stairs, complete with raffle draw- ings, bowling, dancing, video games, food and movies. I liked the Post- Prom better because it was a more relaxed atmosphere, and there was plenty to do to keep everyone busy, was the opinion of Junior Eric Todd. When the evening came to a close, most prom goers found out that all their efforts during Prom Awareness Week paid off with at least ten hours of good memories. It was a night to remember as cou- ples such as Junior Joe Sanders and his date danced, while others smiled pretty for the camera.
