l Fit A A916 . , .,, kewl Excitement inspires memorable evening Amid a l'fantasy room filled with painted walls, hanging streamers, and decorated tables, Seniors danced, conversed, and en- ioyed the festivities of the Prom. To a few, the night of June 7 symbolized years of frustra- tion, tests, teachers, ioy and sorrow coming to an end. Others looked upon the night as a new beginning - a new door to life being opened to them. For the most part, however, many saw the night as a time for enioyment and laughter. Returning from their class trip, the Seniors found themselves with only one week to prepare for their Prom. Lynn Young and Carl Schacht, the co-chairmen of the Prom, quickly organized the plans made beforehand. Under their careful direction and the watchful eyes of L. .1 tE, ? '- - - -L Y- - - Mrs. Cogle and Mr. Kinder, the plain gym became an entirely different world. Barren walls suddenly became transformed into scenes consisting of moonlit beaches and grassy meadows, decorated with huge floating balloons, lighthouses, and even a man dancing with an imaginary bear. Ceilings became lower with the use of draped colorful streamers. The theme l'Summer Breeze appeared to be thoroughly carried out by the placement of a gazebo in the middle of the floor. Outside the gym, one could find enticing tables filled with a delicious assortment of refreshments. The addition of entertaining music provided by l'The Eye and the showing of slides of their class trip proved to be the finishing touches to a memorable evening. V7 A ' X. TQ. l 1 I?
