Romance is in the air as Troy Hancock and Gail Mershon watch the candle flicker in the darkness Always And Forever The Junior-Senior Prom of 1980 en- titled Always and Forever was on the twenty-fifth day of April. Shades of pink, green, orange, red, yellow and blue adorned the gym and the back- ground of the pictures. A covered bridge and fountains with plants, creek rock, and red bud and dogwood trees decorated the en- trance. The picture setting was a floral covered arch and a white wrought iron chair accented with clay pots; a bas- ket of flowers represented a scene from a flower garden. Streamers of many colors and a cardboard rock wall surrounded the dance floor and seating area. The ta- bles were decorated with candles in glass candle holders and with artificial flowers. The music for the evening was pre- sented by Hooks Sounds Mobile Sound and Light Show of Bowling Green, Kentucky. They played record- ings of all styles of music. Special ef- fects such as fog, bubbles, track lights, and strobe lights were provided. The evening carried out a romantic mood as girls wore long frilly dresses and adorned their hair with flowers. The boys wore suits or rented tuxedos. Hostesses Debra Corbin, Tammy Carter and Janice Campbell serve punch while Ann Powell and Peggy Campbell socialize in the background. 28 prom
