 AFTER AN ENJOYABLE dinner, Terry Savarise and Lori Hakkaraincn dance to the music of Good Question at the Hotel Ashtabula. It seemed strange to see the juniors and seniors you usually saw in jeans, overalls, T-shirts, and tennis shoes, dressed up in tuxes and formal dresses at the prom. Many guys spent well over S50 just to go to the prom. They had to rent a tux, buy flowers, and pay for dinner. Likewise, the girls bought S45 dresses that they wore only once. The juniors themselves devoted a lot of hard work just to make the prom a success. There were money-making projects and various committees. Many questioned, “Is it all worth it?” Why spend all this money? What is wrong with just a plain sock hop?” The answer seemed to be obvious: the prom is a long-standing tradition as well as a formal affair. If the students devoted so much time, money, and effort, they they should be able to look forward to a dinner at Hotel Ashtabula and music by Good Question. It also gave the upperclassmen an opportunity to be together one last time for one very special evening before the seniors graduated. REFRESHMENT TIME.

Eake and ice cream. Music and the gay 90's. The student council ice cream social created a picturesque scene in the downtown mall; however, it was not as easy as it sounds. Student council members retreated to their kitchens to create various shapes, sizes, and layers of flavored cakes, adding the final touches with colorful sugar frostings. Using their artistic ability, they advertised with posters throughout the halls and town. The pep bands diligently rehearsed their music. Pep band members, like student council members, salvaged through attic trunks and chest of drawers in search of garters, skinny bow tics, tall black top hats, long lacy ruffled dresses and hair pins. The student council depended on a local organization to sponsor their affair; unfortunatly, the donation never came about. They ended up paying for the entire project; thus there was no profit. The weather was warm and the atmosphere was perfect so all who attended enjoyed themselves. Hopefully the student council will have just as much ambition this year to try again for a huge success. OPTOMISTIC THAT NEXT years turnout will be larger and more hungry. Melissa Benedict and Vicky Boggs propose a toast.
