PTDH1 For most seniors, prom had always been considered The beginning of the end but with still over 55 days of school left, most will just remember it as The night we had senior prom . Almost two months prior to graduation, most seniors and their dates dressed in formal attire and made the trip downtown to the Shamrock Hilton Hotel. lt was like any normal April 3 for most but not for the 1982 senior class. Couples began arriving at 6:30 p.m. in order to have pictures made. Although the picture taking was scheduled to cease at 7:30 p.m,, the photographers were still at work as late as 11 o'clock. A sit-down style dinner was served at 7:30. lt consisted of continental salad, sliced sirloin strip, Au Gratin potatoes, broccoli au buerre and rolls. For dessert couples enjoyed Bomber Montmorency tice cream with cherries jubilee saucej, served to them after a torch-lit procession conducted by hotel employees. Dancing the night away to the music of Collage was next on the agenda. The band tried to appeal to everyone by playing a variety of country, punk, disco, rock, and more than a few slow dancing songs. The moment of truth arrived at 11 p.m. when Carrie Sodon, class secretary, and Chris Ethridge, student body vice-president, stepped up on the stage. ln their hands they held nine envelopes, each containing the names of the senior spotlights. After the spotlights were congratulated, they started off the dance to the class song. Around midnight everyone retired to the beach, home, or some other pre-planned post-prom destination. The prom euphoria seemed to carry on after the sun rose the next day. Those who hadn't stayed out all night got up early to hit the beach for the sunrise. Those who had not taken the time to stop partying, slowed the pace down a bit, changed into bathing suits, and enjoyed the beach for a few hours more, before returning to Sagemont to finish homework or household chores before putting a well deserved 10 to 12 hour sleep.
