Rush Hour rushes on The pop music band Rush Hour plays a more upbeat tune giving couples a chance to socialize and to get refreshv ments. eaven in your eyes The big night had finally arrived after months of preparations. They entered slowly under the great ballooned archway, excited yet a bit hesitant. As the couples moved further into the room, a running fountain surrounded by blossoming flowers greeted them. Flashes of rose, sapphire, and silver from the decorations twinkled like small stars. The couples glided gracefully into the song among the fresh smells of corsages and boutonnieres and the happy greetings of good friends. As the night continued. couples reflected on all the time and preparations put into this one night. Girls remem- bered the race to get their hair and nails done, as well as catching one more tanning appointment to get just the right tan. Even more poignant in their memories was the search for just the right dress. The search began months ahead of time and required traveling all across town to find the perfect dress. Meanwhile, the boys had to order a tuxedo and corsage to match their dates dress. They also recalled having to work overtime in order to save enough money to pay for dinner and pictures. Dinner reservations at places such as La Maison, Hotel Roanoke, and Jarbals had to be made months ahead of time. Usually two or more couples dined together. Because of the Bryan Adams concert the same night, park, ing was limited; therefore, students either rented limousines or rode together While at prom, couples ex- changed compliments and had their pictures taken.
