•FROO) (Pore £?hart A Feeling | What was every senior talking about in May? That final, last dance that had been in the minds of every student since they had entered high school-prom. Whether it was wfio to go with, wftat kind of tux to rent, or where to go the next day, conversations about prom echoed thxougout the hallways. Tickets for prom cost $20 which included dinner at Executive Caterers at Landerhaven and pictures by Ripcfto Studios. Extra expenses included 6uying flowers, renting tuxes, limousines and 6uying afterprom refreshments. The majority of couples arrived at Landerhaven in Limousines. Once there, couples chatted with friends briefly before sitting down to tables of ten for dinner. After a filling chicken or beef dinner and a banana flambeau dessert, couples lined up to get their pictures taken. The line went by very rapidly and not much time was wasted! Once pictures were taken, students headed for the dancefloor. The D.J. spun a variety of songs and encouraged crowd participation and reguests sucft as the garter ceremony. Guys knelt on their left knee. Tfie girls lifted their dress while the garter was slowly removed by their escort and worn on their left arm. Senior Anthony Fomiti commented, “I thought the D.J. played a lot of really good songs. I was surprised because they played so many request.” To the disappointment of many, only a few witnessed the dessert on fire. Top Right.

Beach Party in the Gym History was made at Benedictine this year when the first annual Beauty vs. the Beast Volleyball Mix- er was held in April. This event was co-sponsored by Benedictine's and Beaumont's Student Councils and con- sisted of volleyball teams from schools competing in a round robin tournament culminating in a championship game with a $100.00 first prize. The tour- nament was held in the gym and was followed by a mixer. The mixer was the idea of the Ben- edictine Student Council who were try- ing to come up with a new way to work with Beaumont. They needed an idea that was fresh and would be supported by both schools. When the night of the mixer finally came, BHS had 28 teams and Beau- mont had 16. In addition, about 120 people who weren't on teams showed up and paid at the door. Play began at 7:00 and lasted until about 10:30. In between this time some of the most fierce volleyball competition ever. When the smoke finally cleared, Benedictine teams like The Deadly Da- gos, The Brotherhood, and The Col- onists had all bit the dust. The final victory and $100.00 went to the senior team from Benedictine known as the Five Unusually Crazy Kids + One which consisted of Mike Kadlub, Joe Russo, Jeff Thresher, Mike Mivsek, Larry Witmer, and fohn Sa- lem. If this does become an annual event, the Beaumont girls better start their training early or they'll find out once again that boys from Benny take their volleyball seriously. Members of Benedictine's Deadly Dagos scout their com- petition high above in the Diocicners.
