ENCHANTED “I had such a lovely romantic time. I know I'll never forget that evening.” space shuttles, but attending a high school prom can give one a close brush with the dreamlike world of pomp and pageantry. It represents a few magical moments which linger for- ever in the deep recesses of the mind. Last year, Commerce’s junior prom was held for over 300 stu- dents at one of the most elegant places in the area — Chez Josef. Amid the ambiance of satin walls, bubbling fountains and a few rented limosines, one found the power to be transformed from a city schoolgirl to a princess, escorted by an enchanting poised prince who was a hard-working student only hours earlier. Gowns of satin and lace, ribbons, bow ties, high heels, shiny black shoes and tuxudoes were sported throughout the evening as atten- dants partook of a delicious meal, then proceeded to swing to the tunes of Bootsie Bass. Norma Colon was voted prom queen by her peers and was appropriately crowned by Principal Basili. Also selected was her court of four: Tracy Truman, Monica Waddell, Jannette Valasquez and Sandra Figueroa. Considering past proms, one would be inclined to give our spring ‘86 prom an A+. Not long ago, this affair was not quite so formal or re- laxing simply because hundreds of dollars were spent for a rented hall, while dining was not included. There may be no more modern day Cinderellas, unless Diana Spen- cer or Sarah Ferguson could be con- sidered such. But for one night, prom night, one could easily be de- luded into believing that utopia does exist. Sweet dreams! by Sherri Stovall A fairy tale existence is unrealistic in this age of computers and Mr. Basili takes pleasure in crowning the prom fueen Norma Colon. Student Life 23
