On April nineteenth, the seniors were dismissed at 2 00 to begin the rituals necessary for a big night out on the town By 4 30. seniors and their dates began to emerge in formal evening wear, heading toward pre-prom parties in the nicest cars they could find By 7:00. they were sitting at tables in the ballroom of the Hobby Hilton, waiting for the buffet dinner to begin The amazement at seeing each other dressed up, the excitement fo having all of their friends around them, and the realization that graduation was only six weeks away lifted everyone ' s spirits and assured the evening would be an unforgettable one After dinner, the D J began play- ing, giving everyone the chance to strut their stuff and even do the bird! Even those who usually do not dance found themselves at least attempting a few moves on the dance floor. After prom, seniors finished off the hours left on their limousines by cruising down town Houston while others headed toward Dickinson and the senior breakfast. After returning borrowed cars, changing clothes, and eating, some seniors drove to the beach where they rented condos or beach houses. Fundraising for prom began when the class of ' 85 entered high school. The biggest fundraisers, however, were the junior cookie sales and the senior magazine sales. The senior class officers and class sponsor, Ron Proctor, began the actual planning last summer. The 1985 senior class prom capped off the past thirteen years with a lot of fun and a touch of class.
