It will always be a part of my memories to look back on, commented Senior Dana Beebe. The Adams Mark Hotel, in the Grand Ball Room on May 5, catered to this glamorous event, to a group of approximately 640. Seeing and dancing with all of my friends was great, said Senior Darlene Reidenbach. The decorations for each table consisted of top-hats with helium balloons attached, name cards, garders, and programs. Various types of music such as country, new wave, disco, and rock were furnished by the D.J. from Fantasy Unlimited instead of the traditional band. Due to an under-sized dance floor everyone found difficulty in being able to move freely. This was the first year for hors d'oeuvres instead of a dinner at the table. The menu consisted of roast beef, turkey, mushrooms, chocolate mousse, cheese cake. and apple strudel. Having a buffet is better than having a sit down dinner. It is cheaper, offers a wider variety of dishes, and less food is wasted, stated Senior Kim Eitze. The 1984 Senior Class was fantastic during the prom. It seemed that everyone enjoyed the music, food, and fun! revealed Senior Class Sponsor Mrs. Harris.

Before and After Festivities Make Prom Night Complete Prom wouldn't be complete without the festivities before and after, stated Senior Jimmy Bujnoch. Many weeks were spent preparing for the prom. Some girls started months before hunting for the right dress. Senior Vicky Wimpy exclaimed, Having to find a dress was a lot of trouble because this year there were not too many pretty ones and every store in Houston had the same thing. The guys didn't have quite as much trouble. They just had to wait to find out the color of their date's dress. According to Senior Ricky Farias, Picking up your tux before prom can be a real hassle, expecially when you don't get what you ordered. I found it very frustrating having to go back to Tux-N-Tails thirty minutes before I'm ready to leave, because they forgot the button for my shirt, com- mented Senior Eddie English. Many couples chose to go out to eat before prom even though hors d'oeuvres were available. Vargo's, Portobello's, The Carlyle, and Old San Francisco Steak House were among the few restaurants chosen. Before going out to eat several couples attended a Pre-Prom Party given by Seniors Stacy Saenz and Kay Martz. After prom some of us went to eat breakfast and then headed out for the beach, said Senior Rhonda Brookshire. Some peo- ple rented beachhouses, hotel rooms, condo's and some even slept in their cars or on the beach. After prom, at the beach I had a real nice time. It was fun seeing all the seniors get together for one last time and party down, commented Senior Barbara Benis.
