Horse drawn carriages and glass slippers by the magic of time transformed into 1982 Cadillacs When that two o'clock bell rang on May 13, the transformation began for many students, for that night would bring the long awaited prom. Girls would rid themselves of the uniform skirts to don the silk or satin gowns so carefully selected or made anywhere from a month to a day ago. Meanwhile the guys were donning their matching tuxedos and picking up corsages for their ladies. As dusk settled upon the evening, most people were ready to call it a day, but the night was young for prom-goers. With ‘‘stogies”’ in right hand pockets and flowers in their hands, the gentlemen were off to pick up their dates. Some came in the grand manner in rented Cadillacs, chauffeur driven; others, in the family’s best car; still others in their own newly-polished school models. Having posed for Daddy and his Nikon, they took off for the Lantana and a dance that was to be more like a royal ball. The receiving line gamut was much less painful than anticipated as friendly faculty welcomed each couple. After dinner, there was dancing till eleven, when Queen Donna Sylvester was crowned and had her royal dance with her court. At the twelfth stroke of the chimes, only the dance ended. Post-prom parties and late get-togethers saw Cinderellas and princes in reverse transformation. Luckily cars did not turn into traditional pumpkins. Some of the boys who didn’t make it home came to school in their tux. Ready to sit through a day of classes, 90% still asleep, they persevered till the two o'clock bell. A full day of classes followed the night of frills, fancies, and parties. The prom was over, the moment of glamor was only temporary, but the memories will last forever. Queen and her Court include Gary Mages, Bonni Howard, Thomas McNul- ty, Elizabeth Latta, Queen Donna Sylvester and date, Trisha Buzzell, Pat Cunningham, Jane Welcher, and Paul Benson. Although tired, the moments are no less special for John Sheehy and Patricia Coyle. Dancing the night away are Stephen Birch and Marthe-Anne Healy. Perfection of the evening is evidenced in the expressions of Thomas McNulty and Elizabeth Latta. Prom 11
