It was a fantastic evening and I enjoyed dancing. commented Iunior Donna Soltis. Members of the junior class, espec- ially the advisory board members, worked for many months to prepare for this one special night. Selling lol- lipops, hosting carwashes, and various other fund raisers were neces- sary in order to defray the cost of this gala event. The most profitable fund raiser was selling M8rM's, which needed the class SL500. It seems as though there are always problems to overcome and this year was no different. During the voting process for queen, an unprecedented event occured, there was a tie for queens position between Vickie Kunkel and Halle Berry. An even more unprecedented event then occured to settle the tie, a coin was tossed! The flip determined Halle Berry as the 1983 Prom Queen. What should have been a happy event turned into disaster for the loser , Vickie. It all happened so fast that I didn't even realize what the implica- tions would be. she said.

The prac- tice session held earlier that day with row captains, ushers, and faculty members went well. Senior class advisor Mrs. Barbara Holloway stated, This was one of the best rehearsals we've ever had. The kids were espec- ially well behaved. Handing out programs, roses, and escorting the seniors to their seats were junior ushers and escorts select- ed by the counseling department. It was nice to see the seniors one last time and to learn the ropes for next year. commented usher Natalie Kranz. The solemn ceremony began with COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS.

Hope talked about the bitter- sweet moment that at the same time represents promise for the future. It was an exciting experience that will stay with me forever. said Hope. I believe my speech was meaningful and gave people something to take with them and remember. she add- ed. An enjoyable addition to this years ceremony was the performance of the Madrigal singers.
