Class of ’80 Keeps with the Times TOP LEFT: Lawrence Majette, junior class president, presented the class sponsors, Ms. Barbara Bishop and Ms. Karen Measell, bouquets of red roses. BIGHT: Reigning at the prom were Deborah Harrison, queen, and Charles Williams, king. Ms. Barbara Bishop is among the first to congratulate them. BOTTOM: “We’ve hung the chandelier, now how many more crepe paper streamers do we need?” asked Ray Kemp as he waited for the assembly line below. When the juniors chose “Stepping Out in Style ” as the theme for the junior senior prom, they meant just that. Their first step was to ditch the idea of having live music and go disco with “Disco Pat’’ from Charlotte, North Carolina. Step two was the arduous task of transforming a cold, lifeless gymnasium into a swinging disco. On Monday morning, the week of the prom, the transformation may have seemed impossible, but by Friday afternoon, the last streamers had been strung, the lights had been in¬ stalled, the tables had been set, and the punch and hors d ’oeuvres had been prepared. Time had arrived for the third giant step, peeling off blue jeans, stepping into for¬ mal attire, and getting in¬ structions from Moms and Dads on how fast to drive, when to be home, and how to behave. During the prom, couples demonstrated the latest disco steps, admired each other ' s attire, chatted with friends, and then headed to the after parties. Step four. Getting up Satur¬ day. “How late did you sleep?’’ Junior—Senior Prom 19
