They munched on cake to re- member this unforgettable Prom night, then headed to the Bayous on the river for Prom night dinner. PERFECT PAIRI Sharing affection, Henry Mondragon and Margaret Bemal are a match made in heauen. They make their last Prom the t3€St rLauia Futrmt ' Prom brings nervous beauty Lorru Reai AWAY FROM THE CROWD, hia tilie Mctieil and her date share an exciting moment together at the Prom. Together they have the time of their life! y heart was beating so fast I ivas afraid it was going to burst out of my chest. I looked around the room at all of the cou- ples all dressed so elegantly and having the time of their lives. The guys all looked so handsome in their tuxedos, and the girls were all so beautiful in their glamorous gowns. The band began playing a slow song and my heart fell into my stomach. My date looked at me and grabbed my hand. I couldn ' t even feel my feet moving as he lead me onto the dance floor. He took me into his arms and held me tight. I looked up into his eyes and he gave me a smile that made all my insides shatter. I knew this would be a night to remember. For many it was a night filled with romance, but for aR it was a night of excitement. Being all dressed up and going out for the best of everything made the night one of richness and fullness. The Prom was really nice. I had a good time. I always like to look at all the pretty dresses and to watch everyone having a great time, Junior Sheila Shodrock said. The Junior-Senior Prom was held at the prestigious (holiday Inn located on the Riverwalk. The theme chosen for the night was The Time of My Life which fit the night ' s events perfectly. Like at any other prom there was a royal court chosen, tiom- inees for King were Steve Drzymalla, Marcus Gracey and Ronnie Meloni. Queen nominees were Karci Haycraft, Charleen Pearce and Stephanie Tausch. The royal couple, Steve Drzymal- la and Karci Haycraft, were crowned with jewels and lead the group with a slow dance. ' It really was an honor being named Prom King. It was some- thing I didn ' t expect but it really made my night, ' Steve Drzymalla said. 57 . . Student Life

What? 7:00 A.M.! you ' re kidding! What do you mean 7 A.M.? was the first question that popped out of the senior ' s mouth when they heard the time they were leaving for Garner. Many seniors struggeld to get out of bed and up to school so they wouldn ' t be late because Mr. Vee said We will leave at 7 and will not wait for anyone! Saturday morning finally ar- rived, and the seniors dragged their bodies from their cars and made it on the bus. I found a seat, laid it back, and fell asleep! Donna Craig said. At 9 A.M. the seniors arrived at Garner, unloaded the Grey- hounds, and scattered. Some went to the paddleboats. others to the mountain and Heidi Hutch erson into the water I saw Heidi truing to climb up the side of the river, then she slipped and fell in the water. Clothes, shoes, and all. Everyone began to laugh and point at her! Patricia Zaiontz said. Everyone had a thrilling time and showed their true colors. Many exciting things happened. Mike Laskowski tried to swing from the tree and came back on the rope and hit the tree. Waynette Tedford said I was in front of a paddleboat and some- one hit us from behind. I fell back, hit Billy McManus in the face with my knee, then rolled off the back, and into the water. Then at 3 P.M. Mr. Vee yelled Load em up! and all the seni- ors dragged their sunburned bo- dies on the bus. On the Journey home bus six was stopped for speeding. Many of the seniors took pictures and laughed through the ordeal. This incident would be remembered for ages. The day ended when the bus arrived at school at 5 P.M. The seniors would remember and cherish this day. Even though this was almost the last time we were going to be together, we had fun so we could remember our class buddies the way they were. Todd CielencM Todd Cielatckt no ONE CAM jaST EAT ONEI And Stacy Wyrwich and Heather Fenner agree with that statement. The two girts enjoy a lunch of chicken, potato salad, and chips to fill their tired bodies with energy so they can swim and n n around the rest of the afternoon. Many seniors enjoy eating with their closest friends. CATCHING SOME RAYSI Finding the sun to be warm and bright, Vanessa Stoops sits on the grass to watch a little volleyball and catch some rays. After a full morning of swimming and climbing the mountain, she decides to rest for a mo- ment and enjoy the day. What else is better than deepening those tans?! PADDLE FASTERI Mr. Vee is catching a ride from Bubba Ross on the pad- dleboats so he doesn ' t get his feet wet. Later that day Mr. Vee put on his shorts and had fun. Ylfl rci o lie Jody simBtona I was called in ctnd I was told I received the Beta Club and Charla Wicfc scholar- ships. ' . . . Mi- chele Hanson I ' ll never forget playing Miss Campbell in the Variety Show and trying to scrub all of the black shoe polish off my face in time for the next act. ... Rachelle Ullrich One thing that sticks in my mind is the basketball game when Gigi Madl tumbled in- to the wall. . . . Heather Fenner My most memo- rable time was being voted Most Likely to Suc- ceed by my fel- low classmates. I was also excited being honored Valedictorian! ' . . .
