JUNIOR-SENIOR Soft lights, loud music, crowds of danc- ers, posing for pictures, evening gowns, suits, stomach wrenching elevators - do you remember these? Of course, what else but the Spring 1978 Junior-Senior Prom! The band, The Vigilantes, played rock and soft music in the ballroom of the Francis Marion Hotel. The evening was a great success for all who attended, especially the Junior Class, who sponsored the prom. lifef9

MISS USA CHARLESTO Kamal Constantine, a student here, helped with the Miss USA Pageant both years it was held in Charles- ton. Kamal originally volunteered to prepare scenery. Kamel met the vice president of Miss Universe, Inc., who switched Kamal's duties to talking to the contes- tants and helping with the filming. Kamal commented that the biggest thing he had learned during the two years he helped with the pag- eant was how to conduct himself in the midst of famous and important people. His secret was not to act as their inferior, but their equal, so that everybody was at ease. The first year he helped, Kamal was just learning the ropes. The second year Kamal found the pageant much more interesting. He enjoyed the formal parties that he and the contestants and others associated with the pageant attended. Kamal says that the two weeks he spent helping with the Miss USA pageant were the best two weeks he ever spent in the United States. Kamal also became close friends with the former Miss Universe, from Israel. They still keep in touch with phone calls and letters. Miss USA photos by David Schimpf.
