'Precious and Few Jr Sr Prom ' This was the first year the Junior-Senior Prom was not held in the school gymnasium. The banquet and the dance were held at the Ramada lnn in Belton, Missouri, on Friday, April 27, l979. The prom brought the year to a colorful and exciting end. The juniors had chosen the pastel colors of pink, green, blue and yellow to help set the mood for the theme, uPrecious and Few.u HPrecious and few are the moments we two can share,u said a lot about the graduating seniors of l979. Events that had happened to each individual throughout the year can never be erased or replaced. All of the things we achieved and the disappointments we overcame have formed a magic memory of our precious and few years at Drexel High School.
