Prom held outdoors again at Movieland After viewing available sites for the 1983 prom, Junior Class President Chris Salio and the other class officers selected the California Plaza at Movieland Wax Museum as this yearis site. It was a popular change from some smaller, stuffier enclosed sites of previous proms. The California Plaza is an outdoor Spanish style patio with some enclosed roofed areas, it was the site of the 1981 prom. The theme selected was We,ve only just Begun based on a 1968 Carpenters song. That theme and the shades of blue color scheme were selected by Salio and fellow officers Laura Alatorre, Susan Kim and Tiffany London. Many couples attended the dance paying S36 to S38 per ticket which also included a tour of the Wax Museum on prom night and a complimentary pass to be used there anytime in the future. The band Surge played a well balanced mixture of pop, rock, new wave and mellow rock. An increase in the ticket price from last yearis S23 was blamed for the attendance which was lower than hoped for.
