Volunteering hours of hard work make After-Prom Simply Irresistable by Jennie True hat do we do when Prom is over? For a l number of students this was a big issue. After-prom included ev- ery aspect of the day after prom, such as going to Kings Island in Cincinnati, Ohio or Spring Mill Park, about an hour north of Charlestown. It also includ- ed what to do immediately following the Prom. For this yearis prom go- ers this was somewhat of a concern until about three weeks before the big event. In the March issue of The Nautical, Senior Larry Stone wrote an arti- cle expressing student con- cern that there would be no annual llAfter-Prom Par- ty , like the ones offered for the past three years by the SADD group. Mrs. Carol Pennington, an Instructional Assistant with the St. Michaells School children, realized the tremendous need for one. She took it upon her- self to re-organize the SADD group and the After-Prom Party. Pen- nington, who has a daugh- ter of driving age, felt that it was too important to be let go. The After-Prom was funded by donations from local businesses and the money left over from last years SADD fund. There were several ac- tivities at the party, such as dancing a limbo contest, tug-of-war, etc. And for each contest, there was a prize given away. Prizes ranged from cokes, jack- ets, and sweaters, to a sav- ings bond or $50 in cash. Pennington summed up her part in the event by saying, llllve enjoyed working with the students and enjoyed being with them. I would be very up- set if something happened to any of them, because I have developed very close relationships with them. STOP! STOP!

T.V., Sports, Music offer plenty of ntertainment by Jennie True eflecting back on the year brings memo- ries of accomplishments and excitement. One very popular form of entertainment was view- ing the 1988 Olympics, which were held in Seoul, Korea. Two exceptional athletes, Florence Griffith- Joyner and Greg Louganis, dazzled the crowds with their talent and skill, and stole the hearts of thou- sands throughout the Olympic Games. Other sporting events which took the spotlight, were the NCAA Championships, won by the Michigan Wol- verines; the SuperBowl, won by the SanFrancisco 49ers; and the World Se- ries, with champions Los Angeles Dodgers. For those not interested in sports, going to see the latest movies was a hit. And even more popular, was renting them and watching them at home. The Grammy Awards were also a highlight, as we watched our favorite sing- ers and groups being rec- ognized for their outstand. ing talents and achieve- ments. Some of the Grammy winners were: Tracy Chapman, Best New Artist; George Mi- chael's Faith, won Album of the year; Song of the Year was awarded to Bob- by McFerrin for uDonit Worry Be Happyii; and DJ. Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince won Best Rap Performance. With all of the endless choices of entertainment, the year was filled with ex- citement. PARENTS JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.
