Dancing the night away, Trevor Dean and Annie Guillette swing to Bruce Springsteen. Rushing into the shower, after all, | only had three hours to get ready, my mind raced with excitement. Everyone was too helpful and seemed to be getting in the way. Finally, we got it all together; shoes, stock- ings, my hair, make-up and the gown. As the minutes ticked by, questions flooded my mind; should | bring a pocketbook? Should | wear a jacket? Should | answer the door or stay upstairs and be fashionab- ly late? Before | had time to respond, Dad had already 2:00 Rush Is On answered the door. | took a last look in the mirror then did my best to grace- fully trip downstairs. The rest was a blurr; parents snapping pic- tures, telling us to get “just a bit closer’, the limosine arriving on time and the tailored chauffeur stepping out to open our door. Entering the Lantana, we were welcomed by the faculty. AS we entered the main room, our eyes glan- ced towards familiar faces in unfamiliar clothes. After exchanging compliments and reserving a table, we proceeded toward the glass elevator. Pictures, more pictures, but these were special. Our nerves had calmed slightly yet there were still questions: Would | smile right? Were we standing too close? At last, we were back in the main room. The food had arrived but our nerves had prevented our appetites from surfacing. After dinner, it was time to select the prom Queen and her court. After overcoming the shock, the newly crowned Shannon McAloon and her court took over the dance floor for the traditional Queen-and-Court dance. soon, everyone was boogying away the 1986 Prom.

Powerful Pantomime of the Passion If silence is golden, then the Easter Vigil was Fort Knox. Silence abounded. The second annual Pas- sion Play was performed in complete silence and the audience sat in stunned silence at this masterful pantomime of Christ's death. After the final prayer, the lights were dimmed and the play began. The two narrators, symbolical- ly dressed all in white, gave a brief account of Jesus’ past few years preaching. Then the real action commenced. The opening scene saw Jesus and his twelve apos- tles eating their Last Supper together. When Jesus, played by Robert Sullivan, raised the Bread of Life and Cup of wine, some in the audience mouthed the sacred words that the actors did not say. Then they 10 Easter Vigil watched as Jesus humbly washed his Apostles’ feet under the protest of Peter. It was then Peter’s turn to watch as his beloved teacher was arrested by jeering Roman soldiers in the Garden of Geth- semane. That all-too- human element of Judas Iscariot’s greed had placed Jesus in the hands of his enemies. Peter, played by Dean Slye, soon learned, however, of another all- too-human element: fear. Realizing that he had thrice denied Jesus out of fear, Peter silently sobbed. The Way of the Cross began: carrying his own Cross, meeting his mother, falling three times, accepting help from Simon, and finally offering himself up to the the Roman guards. The nails were driven merci- lessly in, the crowd con- tinued to insult him, he was given cheap wine, and the letter INRI were hung above him. Finally the sky darkened, a mighty crack was heard, Jesus forgave his executioners, and will- ingly died for humanity. The silence was broken. The sound of tears was heard from the audience. No one moved as Jesus’ body was taken down. The silence was broken by the actor as well. Peter, Dean Slye, reflected aloud on Jesus’ life and death. Although the play ended with the crucifix- ion, Christians the world over know that three days later their Lord rose from the dead and Easter was born. Christ's final moments on the Cross are portrayed by Robert Sullivan. “This is my blood,” proclaims Jesus as he raises his cup.
