The Holiday Inn was the setting, and the class colors, ice blue and silver, set the mood for a romantic evening. Jesuit Bena provided music to accent the night. Faculty and School Board members enjoyed the Prom as well as the students. Linda Kidd and Joanne Stowers presented Mr. Roger Thompson, class sponsor, with a small gift as a token of appreciation for his hard work and never-ending patience. 14 The highlight of the Junior-Senior prom was the crowning of the 1974 King and Queen. Eddie Dillow and Susan Reynolds were the honored couple, crowned by Joanne Stowers and Vincent Grose- close. Students and guests danced to the waltz in honor of the King and Queen.

Everything we want this night to be Is now cornin' true as you can plainly see And the reason is clear It's because we are here When you finally reach your goal your dream's come true. (Chorus) We're on the top of the world since we're graduating The time's worth waiting while our hopes and dreams are high We won't mind to carry a heavy load, as we travel down life's road This night's put us at the top of the world. Something in the memories we've known How the love, friendship, and guidance that we own Has been given by those, who were both our friends and foes Suddenly we feel that we are all alone. There is only one wish on our mind When we graduate each one of us will find That the future will be, bright and happy for you see Everyone of us must follow his own star. (Chorus) We're on the top of the world since we're graduating The time's worth waiting while our hopes and dreams are high We won't mind to carry a heavy load, as we travel down life's road This night's put us at the top of the world. 82 SENIOR TRIP 1975 DATE TOUR April 17 Busch Gardens April 18 Disney World April 19 Disney World April 20 Sea World A TRIP TO THE MAGIC KINGDOM “Up, Up and Away” 83 HONOR STUDENTS Each year those students attaining a 95 or above average are awarded an honor bar or letter.
