Months Of Preparation By Junior Class Create A eavenly Prom It is May 3, 8:30 p.m. and the cars are pulling up to the front doors of PHS. These cars have been washed and waxed and some aren't the usual ones that inhabit the parking lot during a regular school day. These are dad's Cadillac, big brother’s Z-28 or maybe even rented cars. The car door opens and out steps a girl dressed in a beautiful long dress with ruffles and lace. Matching shoes and a small purse match the dress. The young man is wearing a tuxedo and patent leather shoes. After some last minute adjustments, the couple walks into the gym. The last months have been hectic with preparation and ever- ything is finally ready. Lasting until midnight, the 1986 prom was built around the theme “Heaven, a song by Bryan Adams. The gym was decorated with the color scheme of red and grey, the senior col- ors. Balloons, streamers, tables, a staircase, tiny lights and a bubbling fountain were just a few of the decora- tions that added to the romantic atmo- sphere of the evening. Entertainment was provided by the prom servers. These sophomores are selected each year from the upper per- centage of their class. Their duties in- clude not only entertaining the crowd but helping serve refreshments. This year’s group included David Klanecky, Kelly Ogle, David Lesher, Michelle Hughes, Bob Combs, April Beasley, Troy Ferdig, Roxi Bradway, Dan Cahalane, Stacy Schreiber, Aber- crombie, Jeanne Carmicheal. Also helping were Chad Hart, Jonie Cubrich, John Lukowski, Dawn Stoehr, Bill Lukash, Ember Gogerty, Jon Reimer and Kim Shipley. The sopho- more rendition of the “Super-Stud Shuffle seemed to be the biggest hit with the crowd. While dancing to this Super Bowl tune, the group chanted verses which were written with the sen- iors in mind. Music for the dancing was provided by a disc jockey from Red Tag Enter- tainment. He also had the honor of reading senior wills throughout the evening. During the months of preparation, the junior class officers divided up the responsibilities and assumed certain jobs. Brian Bresnahan, president, was in charge of decorations. Missy McCormick, vice president, saw to the nominations and voting for royalty and also ordered the flowers and crowns for that. Kasey Piper and Bekkijo Par- kus arranged for the refreshments and invitations respectively.
