A night to remember -- Junior class president Michelle Heaton crowns Cathi Jackson the prom princess. One of the most anticipated events at BHS each year is the junior-senior prom. Weeks before were spent preparing for this special night of May 6, 1988. For the juniors it was a chance to say goodbye to senior friends. For the seniors it was their last time together before graduation. As couples began to arrive at The Gathering in Bloomington on this evening, they found something different from other proms. This year a grand march was added to the schedule of events. As couples were escorted through the balloon archway, their names were announced to the crowd. While some stood in line to have their picture taken, others were Hamateur photographers snapping pictures of friends. Promptly at 7:00 the buffet-style dinner was served. Some couples opted for a romantic dinner eating alone at a can- dlelit table. Others sat with friends laughing and discussing the night's plans. Finally at 9:00 the dance began. As the music began, clusters of friends could be seen dancing to the music of the band, Boy Meets Girl. A few couples sat out the fast dances waiting for the more romantic slow dances. Throughout the night, the band was joined on stage by several enthusiastic members of the audience. At last the event everyone anticipated arrived. At 11:30 it was time to crown this year's royalty. As junior class president Michelle Heaton stepped forward to an- nounce the prince and princess, the crowd grew quiet. Darren Lueking and Cathi Jackson were crowned the reigning prince and princess. Next Jason Carmichael approached the microphone to announce the names of Stacey Hill and Kim Bellamy as king and queen. As the prom song was played, the newly crowned royalty led their subjects in the traditional slow dance. Robert Kidd and Carri Kindred take a break from the festivities to capture the moment on film. Band director Mr. Jerrels and his wife join students in a fast-paced song. These boys wait patiently for the buffet- style dinner to be served.

Like every year, there were many banquets held throughout this school year including banquets for athletics, band, and academics. During the summer, an athletic banquet was held to honor the participants in girls' tennis, boys' golf, girls' softball, baseball, and boys' and girls' track. The fall banquet honored the players in boys' and girls' cross country, volleyball, and boys' tennis. The spring banquet recognized' team members of both boys' and girls' basketball. The seniors who participated in band and-or athletics were presented their jackets in the fall. The Rotary Club once again held its spring banquet at The Landing to honor the top ten students in each class. Cam White and Chip Allen seem parched after waiting in the long line for iced tea.

After the prom, the students were given time to change clothes and travel back to Bloomfield for the post prom at 1:30 a.m. For those who were still wide awake, there were many activities to dispense of their energy. Besides the miniature casino with blackjack and poker tables, there were also carnival games. For those with still more energy, there was a disc jockey with some very special guests. Students and parents masqueraded as some very famous musical stars. Junior Marcia Ranard said, The parents worked very hard on post prom, and it was well worth it. I had a lot of fun! As 4:00 rolled around, everyone gathered in the cafeteria for the break- fast. While everyone ate cinnamon rolls, the parents gave gifts and prizes. Finally the night drew to a close and everyone headed for home and a soft bed. It was a very special night that gave us a chance to say--Friends are Forever.
