But unfortunately, like Cinderella at the stroke of midnight, most seniors had to change from for- mals into shorts and other attire and the ballroom of C.H.S. was returned to the regular gymnasium. Back in the classroom Monday, we were left with our empty prom glasses, our souvenir pro- grams, empty pockets from all the money spent, but most of all we were left with our memories of our special prom night. Up Where We Belong . . the perfect theme for a perfect night. May 11, after many hours of hard work, and a little fun, the senior class turned the C.H.S. gym into a wonderful heaven, filled with balloons, clouds, stars, and a gazebo made of sparkling blue streamers. Couples dressed in matching formals, exquisite gowns with color coordinated tuxedos, started their evenings with a fancy dinner and then ar- rived at the prom. Everyone was swept away by the romantic atmosphere. 11:00 brought about the toast to the class of ’85 and then . . . ‘‘Alright now, form a circle, guys slowly remove your date’s garter. Girls, place your garter on your escort’s arm.” tar Filled tomorrow brings survive I feel it alive our way A • AIM When There But we Love lift belong Love know blow Live Cruisin' Junior-Senior Prom — Up Where We Belong
