Prom Festivities Continue At Beach “I was really excited before prom. It felt neat to be all dressed up and drive up in a fine car,” said Senior Ricky Kopps. Pre-prom activities included parties such as the ones hosted by Seniors Don Ballard and Tracie Rutherford and going out to dinner at fine restaurants such as Vargo's. The Great Caruso and The Rainbow Lodge. The students who did not eat dinner out chose to save money and eat from the buffet at the Hyatt. “This prom sure did out-do last year's. A better place and better food added to a better night,” said Senior Ray Schmidt. I had a lot of fun. I was so excited about prom and dancing, that I didn't eat. I'm sorry that I missed the food because it all looked so good!” said Senior Chappell Wells. After prom, many people attended parties or breakfasts, then a large number of people headed toward the beach, where many beach houses had been rented. The best part of prom was spending the night at the beach.” said Senior Brett Rogers. The rest of the weekend was then spent in the sun. The weather could not have been better. The seniors who were granted a skip day the Monday after prom, made the most of it. but this was the last year for Seniors skip days.
