She almost looks like a different person . . time for pictures, ‘“‘Smile!’”’ click — Oh no, | think that my eyes were closed. I’mso embarrassed, all those nosy neighbors staring out their windows while | help her into the car. We made it! You can see the crystal chandelier from the outside. It lends elegance to the atmosphere... The receiving line is so long with so many of our teachers... my legs are getting tired... Look atall the tables... Where are all our friends? There they are. | can feel the excitement running through the hall. . . Dinner is served, Mmm — I’m starved! After that fine meal | could just sit and relax for the rest of the night . but the band’s warming up, sounds good — The Ambassadors make me feel like dancing! .. . And not only me . . everyone was on the dance floor swaying to the music... The night has passed quickly... | think that | shall remember this special night always. “| could have danced all night!” William McLaughlin and his date enjoy May 8, 1980. 5:30 p.m. Why am | so nervous? I’ve Known him since freshman year, and now just because it’s Prom night, everything seems different. This has to be the fifth time I’ve fixed my hair. . . ! m running late . I'll never be ready on time!.. . My hands are shaking... How can | possibly apply mascara? ... Hope! don’t trip on my gown... That’s just what |need...a tear in this frilly thing . . . not to mention the embarrassment... These high heels are really pretty, but | have a feeling that they'll be killing me in a few hours... Is that his car | hear pulling up the drive? But | haven’t even finished dressing! Now I’m walking down the staircase . hope | look okay! . . . It’s funny seeing him in a tux, he seems so much older... “Flash’’ — how many more pictures must we pose for? Why do parents make such a big deal out of the Prom? (Probably for the same reason we kids do!) Now| have to promise my parents that I'll be home early (Well, not out al night) ... make sure | don’t trip going down the front steps... Here at last . . . the Chateau de Ville is really classy — hope the prom portraits come out good. Can’t get used to seeing all our teachers here. All my friends look so dressed up and pretty... a big change from Dickies and blue jeans. I’m so excited and happy that | can barely settle down and eat this dinner. . . Sharing talk and laughter throughout the meal... Dinner was great... andthe music by the Ambassadors was even better. It was just like a Feehan dance but much more elegant and somehow special. The night went by so fast. | wish that it could have lasted forever. Well, | can always look forward to next year. Prom 17
