r 1 lemorable Prom entails hours of preparation, creates many memories. Prom begins at 7 p.m., but the preparation takes place much earlier. For the girl, a dress needs to be carefully cho¬ sen so that it makes the even¬ ing perfect. She also needs to purchase many accessories. The boy, on the other hand, doesn’t have quite as many things to purchase. After all of the preparations are made, and Prom Day arrives, there are still many last minute prepara¬ tions. While the boy is outside playing basketball or occupy¬ ing his time with some other activity, the girl is carefully pre¬ paring for the “big dance.” Flowers must be picked up, make up must be put on, hair done up, dress and shoes put on, and finally, the pictures tak¬ en. Now is the time for Mom, Dad, and big sister to go cam¬ era crazy. The excitement now begins. The boy comes to pick up his date and seemingly thousands of pictures are tak¬ en. After all of the film is used, and it seems as if everyone has been “smiled out,” it’s time to go to his house so that his par¬ ents can take more pictures. The dance hour ap¬ proaches, and couples stream into St. Elijah’s Hall. The music is playing the theme song “One More Night” which reminds the seniors how close to gradu¬ ation they are. The tables are decorated with mint boxes and balloons. Shortly after prom- goers arrive, women serve the dinner of beef and mostaccioli. After dinner, the dance floor fills with young couples. The dance ends at 11 p.m., and couples depart. The Prom dance is over, but the memo¬ ries will last forever. JUNIOR HEATHER MUCH gives the farewell poem to the graduating seniors while sophomore Darcy Mor- ario prepares for her poem. Both Heather and Darcy were on the Prom Committee and helped with many things. JUNIOR ANDREA BOERNER laughs because of her friend Mi¬ chelle Markley, who had trouble managing her dress hoop. 20 Prom
