An Enchanted Evening Somewhere between time past and time future a magical, mythical, fanta¬ sy realm took shape and developed in the short space of five days. From a cold, hard, cinderblock wall with stark windows emerged the Land of Uni¬ corns and Castles. This glorious night was one of the most memorable of all nights for students. Friday dawned with sunshine and excitement among the students as ev¬ eryone realized this was Prom Day. Plans and hopes that had been dreamed of for months now became re¬ ality. The first order of the day for many of those who were to attend the prom was to get an early dismissal. By 8:20, a long line had appeared in the office, each praying not to be rejected. There were things to do today! As soon as their early dismissals were approved, cars streamed from the parking lot, carring students who would in a few hours undergo a great metamorphosis, from jeans to tuxes, from tee-shirts to formal gowns, from average to extrodinaire! Months before, the guys had gone to great lengths to find the tux that would be perfect for this night. No less diligently, the young ladies had pur¬ chased or designed their own gowns. From the riot of color found in the hall¬ ways earlier that day, came couples whose attire were not only colorful but also complimented each other. The entrance to the Prom gave some hint to what was soon to be seen, but the visual impact of the decorations was powerful. The castle in the center of the dance floor immediately grabbed everyone’s attention. Shades of blue predominated and were shot through with streaks of silver as uni¬ corns danced around the edges of this mythical land and stars and clouds glimmered overhead. Gloria Newell and Anthony Walker take this opportunity to discuss their Prom plans. For four hours everyone drifted through this special occasion, dancing to the tunes of Disco Pat, partaking of the refreshments, taking pictures of friends, having pictures taken of them¬ selves, and enjoying feelings that would never again be exactly like this. The Prom, it seemed, ended much too soon. As the end approached and everyone began to depart in their shinning cars that had been waxed only hours be¬ fore, most reflected on the feelings of friendship and pride they had felt. And even though the dream that had been anticipated for several months was coming to an end, the evening was still young as many couples went in search of other parties to finish out the night. Taking a breather after a 12 inch disco single, Shirley Adams, Jimmy Kelly, Mike Gibson and Christin Rawlings wonder how the others have the energy to continue. Deborah Bishop, Rusty McCombs, Roberta Wilson and Wayne Poythress seem able to do nothing but relax as the evening comes to a close. Realizing that even an enchanted evening must come to an end, Charles Moone and Diane Jackson display a contented smile as Barbara Harrison and Haywood Taylor watch the photographer. Arthur Winfield is intrigued with dancers around the castle.

‘live the lifi ng Memory It has gone before me, I will never see it again. It was yesterday, and it was the end Today will become yesterday and tomorrow will become today, jjDut there’s no reaching back for yesterday. So whatever you’ve done today Make sure you are ready for it tomorrow, Because you can only have memories some you may have to borrow. There’s nothing we can do, nor really say,
