Juniors begin preparing early The Junior Class, advised by Mr. Lynn Van Dyke, Mrs. Shirley Aus-brook, Mr. Charles Kerber, and Ms. Linda Stokes, worked throughout the year preparing for the prom. Money making projects such as bake sales and selling magazines brought forth the money used toward prom expenses. Once financially secure, the class began committee meetings for planning decorations, locating a band, and ordering food. When the decoration supplies arrived, Juniors came to the gym quite frequently for two weeks. All the hard work paid off on the night of May 6. Juniors, Seniors, faculty, and guests happily ate a delicious meal in the surroundings of the breathtaking decor. Later, music rang from the slopes of Mount Olympus until time to go home. A.
