Tropical Tranee An exotic drink or a va¬ cation in the Bahamas may come to mind, but instead, A Tropical Splendor was the theme for the May 2, 1987 junior-senior prom. The prom was moved in¬ to Godwin Hall of James Madison University be¬ cause of construction at the Phillips Center. Despite the fact that the location had to be changed on such short notice, it inconven¬ ienced few people. As Lisa Slater said, The Phillips Center was much nicer, but the good thing about the change was that we got the gymnasium free. Godwin Hall also had the distinct advantage of spaciousness and those in attendance enjoyed freedom of move¬ ment. Palm trees and a gazebo were among the decora¬ tions that helped carry out the theme. One student thought the gazebo was es¬ pecially nice. I thought the decorations were def¬ initely a change of pace, Julie Emswiler added. Lisa Slater also commented, I thought the decorations stood out from other proms. Many students who at¬ tended prom enjoyed get¬ ting their pictures taken. The background for the pictures consisted of a pur¬ ple backdrop with two white palm trees hanging over a white wicker chair. In all instances, the dec¬ orations carried out the tropical theme. The props blended together to form an enchanting atmosphere for everyone involved. Prom-goers will always re- member A Tropical Splendor. BENEATH A TROPICAL MOON. Wendy Goding, Russ Carter, Con¬ nie Fink and Chris Sharpe dance beneath the gazebo.
