Promenade of Love: Seniors, Juniors Bop at Lantana “Is my hair sticking up?” “Your bow tie is crooked.” “My gown clashes with the background!” Yes, it was prom time once again and couples seemed to think that getting prom photos taken was just as im- portant as the prom itself. After all, they had spent hours, not to mention money, preparing for this special night. The least they could do was to capture their hand- some selves on film. Upon entering rhe Lantana, even before pictures were taken, each couple was greeted at the reception line by each teacher-chaperone. Knowingly, these teachers, with their keen sense for party atmospheres, watched carefully for the “fit to be tied and ready-to-party” goers. As students and dates shook hands with the teachers, the kids at the front of the line made a mad dash for the mile-long picture line. They were anxious to get this Beginning the night in style, Diane MacKinnon is escorted from a waiting limosine by Gregg Saulnier.

After the frustrating wait to the photographer and the ex- citing ride back upstairs in the Lantana’s glass elevator, they were ready to “bop till they dropped.” And that’s exactly what they did, after devouring the delicious prime rib and roast potato meal. Not only was this a formal dance but also an athletic challenge to see who would be the first high jumper to touch the bottom crystal on the chandelier. When this astonishing feat was accomplished, it was time to announce the prom queen and court. The ballroom was hushed with high hopes and anticipation as Lauren Boyle was crowned by her proud escort and the court was named. Soon after, guys and gals turned to each other to share another tender moment as they danced to their prom’s touching theme, “Faithfully.” Hand in hand, with glowing eyes and intimate thoughts, each couple swayed to the soothing music on their own isolated islands, oblivious to everyone else around them. Much too soon afterwards, it was time for Cinderellas and Prince Charmings to exit the ballroom and head home in their Chevy s or hired limousines. The manner of transportation didn’t matter, because this night had been first class. 18 Prom

Pause that refreshes. Sister Pauline Goodall serves cold punch at a check point to Kristan Quinn, Katie Cronin, and Susan Brenneman. Exceptional Day ... Exceptional People Clad in bright colors with faces to match, over one thousand students and faculty members showed up for the ten mile walk which helped to keep our tui- tion low but our school spirit high. There was ajob for everyone whether it be marching the streets or manning the ten checkpoints and refreshments which appeared between every mile. Spirits soared higher than ever despite our ach- ing limbs and tired feet. If it wasn’t for the smiling faces of those students and teachers who stamped our sheets and poured an endless supply of juice, we never would have survived the ten miles. Of course, just knowing we had the rest of the day off made it all worthwhile. The thought of being with friends and having a great time motivated us to go out and get sponsors. There were so many prizes to win and the possibility of coming out on top inspired everyone to do his share ...and more. Because of our exceptional school spirit, we beat our quota and raised even more than we did last year. Who could have passed up a day like this when it turned out to be one of Feehan’s most successful yet! Walk-a-Thon 17
