Mb On April 24, 1987, Disneyland was destined to be the happiest place on earth for more than its usual reosons; for Cojon ' s 1987 prom commenced amid the colorful glitter of the Disneyland Hotel. Appropioteiy enough, the prom took place underneath the heading, A Night in Fantasy land and wos highlighted by o video D.J. complete with two screens. Tickets were ovailoble for $35.00 a cou- ple. The price included souvenier glasses. People hod the opportunity to dance from 8 o ' clock at night to 1 o ' clock in the morning. This year, o tradi- tion was broken at the prom. Instead of a dinner being served, desserts such as chocolate mousse and black forest coke were available to tempt prom-goers ' tummies. I think that was a good Idea, because the prom dinners ore always gross, commented Jody Peorson. This year ' s Junior Class worked very hard ot presenting a pleosont prom. Many hours were spent after school and on weekends preparing for this populor event. They carefully picked the prom place and the prom agendo. The masterminds who were behind this ex- trovogonzo were: Karen Dorlow, Dolyce Bubemyre, Down Duse, Sharon Cyr, Mike Deponte, Todd Downing, Jill Durr, Laurie Filbeck, Jeff Gomez, Pot Gray, Debbie Groff, Lesley Harris, Veronica Hansen, Fronk Momone, Esther Olsen, Erin Rosenwold, Rocio Son- cho, and Susan Stein. We worked real well together We were well aheod of our money goal, stored Frank Momone. ' It wos a great opportunity , to produce such on event as juniors, added Sharon Cyr Despite the foct that the Closs of 1968 hod to raise over S3000 dollars for the prom, they hod the hotel poid off in record time. Prom rime was a very special offoir for highschoolers. It wos picking out the perfect dress or going with the ' perfect dote Forevermore will the whirl of pink chiffon or the melody of o certoin love song send one ' s mind bock to that porticulor night in April. That was what proms were for — o lost blast for the seniors ond o good time for everyone, commented Esther Olsen. All students that went to the 1987 p,rom held onto their memories; whether they were in the form of a dried corsoge or a folded napkin. Prom ' 87 was one that many students remembered with good feelings. i(Top) The choperones seem mighty hoppy to ponlclpote in Prom ' 67. (Bonom) The pleosont surroundings ot the Disneylond Hotel.

' N As we watched the old fogies ogoinsf the whipper snoppers, we heard the scuffling of feet on a well woxed gym floor and the creaking of slowly deteriorating bones in the bosketboll gome that pitted the students ogoinst their teochers. Ah, victory is sweet . . . ond this time the students were able to toste this delicacy! For once the students were oble to teoch their elders something — how to ploy basketball! Melvin Love wos the head professor, racking up fourteen points. To give the faculty some credit, they didn ' t do all that badly: Joe Loverde scoring ten points ond Dan Heoly scoring eleven points. Even so, the students showed them that one needs more than brains to win o boll gome, in fact, they need- ed sixteen points! The final score was students 60, foculty, 45. So the next time one of your teachers asks you If you con bolonce o chemical equotion, simply smile ond soy, No, but con you ploy bosketboll?
