uWHEN I’M WITH YOU” The Biggest Event of the Year. by Shaiiene Nichols There was excitement in the air on the evening ofMay 13, 1989. For most of us this meant the biggest event of the year. A night ofelegance to be remembered by the theme, “ When I’m with you,” by SherrifF. The Iowa Hall was beautifully decorated for this occasion with black, deep purple, and silver balloons and streamers from Balloon Emporium. Prom was carefully planned by junior class sponsors Mr. Craig Jelinek and Mr. Mick Mattiace. As junior class officers, Jenny Weldon and Chad Schleuter also dedicated themselves to making this a most memorable night. The food servers were members of the sophomore class. At 8:15 p.m. the hall started to fill with the most lavish dresses and handsome tux - edos. Everyone looking their very best was anxiously awaiting the grand march which began at 8:30 p.m. The couples put on their biggest smiles as they proudly strutted down the narrow space given by curious bystanders and parents with -cameras. The couples danced to their favorite tunes played by a DJ from 105.7. Some were cooling down with some punch or stopped to have a piece of cake. The line for pictures seemed to never give up. This year students could sign up ahead of time for an appointment to have their pictures taken. With the expensive dinner reservations, the grand march, pictures taken, and dancing, the night seemed to be going swiftly. The party given to say goodbye to the senior class of ’89 was soon over. The beautifui, expensive attire was taken off and replaced by jeans, shorts, and T-shirts as everyone headed for a great time at Chapman’s Fun World for post prom. Friends gather on the dance floor to boogie. 34 A Bit on the Wild Side
