“Circus” makes prom colorful affair ACHS has many traditions, and prom night has a couple of traditions all its own. It is always held on Friday, and it always rains. This year’s prom was no ex- ception. Although the couples were a little wet when they arrived, the rain didn’t dampen their spirits Many couples arrived early to have their pictures taken so they could start dancing as soon as the band was ready to play. The music was provided by “Circus,” a band from Louisville. They have appeared many times at the Kentucky State Fair and are a well-known band. One junior said, “The evening itself was great, but it was even more fun decorating.’’ The gym was transformed into a “big top” tent of red and white. Animal cages were filled with balloons instead of wild beasts. Tables were deco- rated with popcorn and candles. Most of the decorations were items that the students and teachers had made. They started working on them weeks be- fore the prom took place. The junior class sold prom T-shirts to make money to pay for those decorations they had to buy. The evening was highlighted by the dropping of balloons that had been secured in the “tent.” Most students seemed happy about the outcome of the evening. “The hard work of the juniors and the junior sponsors made “Tonight I’m Yours’’ a great success,” said Ruth Strohmeier. “It was a prom I’ll always remember,” comment- ed Shannon Goodin. Like many other students. Senior Lanny Holt and Sophomore Leslie Young wear the latest fashions in tuxedos and formals to the prom prom 13
