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

Concerted Effort Wins Success “Truly a spectacular even- ing,” proclaimed Miss Saulnier and Mr. Taylor. Indeed, all of the critics had nothing but rave reviews for this one- night-only showing. Dressed for the occasion, the music department, undaunted by the less than expected turnout, entertained the audience with the student chorus’ opening performance of “Cantique.” Echoing across the audito- rium, the adult chorus followed with “If You Believe,” from the Broadway musical “The Wiz.” Tremor from the applause registered 9.8 down Holcott Drive. The band’s performance of ‘“‘Killion”’ drove the audience marching into the aisles. I Still Believe in Me, sings out soloist Cheryl Riley. Quality not quantity is evident in the men’s section of the chorus as the voices of Robert Nicastro, James Holmes, Gilbert Lapointe, Steven Anzivino, and Brian Decubellis prevail. 20 Spring Concert Backstage, the rumor was that the evening’s perfor- mance was just a hint of greater things to come. The troop of one-hundred and twenty band and chorus members were taking their program to compete in the “Mid Atlantic Festival of Champions” in Wildwood, New Jersey. They came home with high egos and a third place trophy in the choral competition, a third place in the parade, first place for the varsity majorettes and a third place for the junior varsity majorettes. Laurie Simoneau and Christine Lasala earned third and fourth place respec- tively in their solo perfor- mances. The Wildwood events were brought to a close, when the troop was taken on a marching tour of Philadelphia’s historical spots. Never before had the performers been in such demand. A selected few of Miss Saulnier’s voice students “When I Think of Home,” sings Cheryl Allen, Henni Olsson, Laura McNulty, Donna Leedham, Karen April, Jacqueline Gauthier, Samantha were chosen to sing in the Convent Parlor Performance. After months of individual in- struction, the students astounded the audience with such selections as “One Hand, One Heart” from “West Side Story.” Second, third and fourth year students were required to perform selections in foreign languages. Robert Nicastro sang ‘‘Torna Sorrento” in Italian. After such a busy season, it’s no wonder most members of the music department were found sleeping in the library, cafeteria and (shh) even some classes.
