Smiling proudly is Queen Lisa Jacques with escort Christopher Corso and her Court with their SIUM t was one of the most intense four hours of preparation in our high school career. Weeks, even months, had been spent mulling over every last detail with eager, nervous anticipation. May 12, 1988 had started our like any other school day, but it was filled with suspense and a bit of fear. We knew it would begin at 2:00 P-M., but many of us were not sure we were ready to face the challenge. The Junior-Senior prom was here and everything had to be perfect. For some, the huge dilemma had begun some eight weeks earlier with girls seen flipping through “Elle” and “Bride” in search of the perfect image. With sleeves from this picture, a bodice from that one and the back from still another, excited girls brought their creation to a nearby seamstress to discuss the plans. Others went immediately to the store where they had seen “the perfect dress that they had to have’’. Some chose to look into many EN escorts. They are Kerri MacGregor and Neil Foster, Linda MacKinnon and Richard Rossi, CHANTED EVENING shops to find their gowns. Wherever the gowns came from, the best looking girls in the area paid between $75 and $300 for them. With the main item out of the way, girls had a few more things to look for. Shoes and a matching pocketbook ra n from $40 to $70, their dates’ boutonniere were $3 to $7 and of course, the biggest worry — the hairdresser — was $20 to $40. These prices were more than worth it for Queen Lisa Jacques and date Christopher Corso, with her court of juniors Tara MacLean and escort, Cheryl Fanning and date Michael Maconi, and senior couples, Linda MacKinnon and Richard Rossi and Kerry MacGregor and Neil Foster. These beautiful ladies were accompanied by their oh-so-handsome dates. Guys in grey, black or white tuxedos were a far cry from their usual green blazers. The color coordination of their tie and cummerbund to their lady’s dress was a final Cheryl Fanning and Michael Maconi and Tara MacLean and escort. touch of class. These guys were fortunate in that their attire cost much less in comparison — ranging anywhere from $50 to $90. Yet this was only the beginning. Guys had to plan on having a substantial amount of money, sums up to $425, to pay for the final touches of elegance. First, and perhaps the most important debt was the $50 ticket to the place where it was held, the elegant Lantana in Randolph, Mass. Next came the “you better not forget” $25 to $50 flowers. For the couples who chose to be escorted to the event, guys had to be ready for a $200 to $300 charge for a limo including a tip for six rental hours. Pictures are a must for this gala, as is the $10 to $20 charge. Finally, their last spending spree is over at midnight when they may choose to stop ata restaurant for another snack. As the night ended, the couples were decidedly poorer, yet the whole evening was viewed asa great SuceS$. All of the anticipation and work was over, but we had the pictures and, more imporantly, the memories. aim 710
