ccttc o e ctf «« ou must Qftend or least three doss periods in order to attend, the voice of tenth and twelfth grade principal Casey Tedin rang throughout the school on the loud speaker system. This was the reminder for the seniors of the requirement to attend the big event on May 0. And yes, it wos a very grand occasion for many of these seniors. Many even took port of the day off from school to prepore for the Senior Prom. For some seniors, it required weeks of planning while others did not toke quite os long. We practically plonned everything during the week of the Prom, Oanh Nguyen sold. We really procrostinofed, but the plans come through and we hod a lot of fun. ' Besides the students, Tedin also hod to do o lot of plonning for the gala. Because of o chonge in the ownership of the hotel which caused o chonge in the d ote of the prom, much of the expenses were covered by the Lincoln Post Oak Hotel. The result was the low cost of S3.00 per person for the Prom ticket. Such Q low price for the tickets definitely helped the students in their other expenses for the night. Some even went oil out in style by renting limousines or dashing sports cors. I wanted to rent the limo because I wonted to go with class. After oil, the theme was A Touch of Class ' so why not do everything in style and fir the theme? Virgil Ifliong sold. With oil the limousines and sports cors parked outside ond all the handsomely dressed seniors inside, the Lincoln definitely hod o touch of doss about it. Cheap tickets and lots of fun were more than we bargained for. BYQUYENWU Going In Style.
