AND THE MARCH GOES ON. . . AND ON. . .AND ON Spring Activities If for no other reason, the '83 Prom may be remembered for having one of the longest Grand Marches in history. As junior attendant Anna Lo- pez remarked, l thought we were going to just keep doing the March all night. Michelle Batiste recalled: My fingers started turning blue because we had to hold our arms up for so long when couples went through the bridge. Leading the Grand March were the Prom King and Queen, Fred Sanders and Lorraine Moya. Someone finally just told us to start dancing and every- one else would follow, recalled Lor- raine.

A lack of funds threatened the suc- cess of the dance. Because of the layoffs, we had trouble all year raising money, admitted class president Me- lissa Romero. Decorating posed a new problem because it was the first year the dance was held in the multi-purpose room. As Leigh Ann explained: No one was really sure which was the best way to put up the decorations. Plus, we had to tape every streamer sepa- rately since they wouldn't let us use staples in the new building.
