On the night of May 8, 1987, the students ascended the escalator from the luxu- rious lobby of the Radisson Hotel to the ballroom which was magically trans- formed into the Stairway to Heaven for East Gaston Juniors and Seniors and their guests. The theme and decorations were coordinat- ed by Mr. Scruggs, Mr. Loftis and members of the Junior class. Hours were spent on picking out gowns and tux- edos, making dinner reser- vations and taking care of all of these Hlast minute details. Female dress ranged from Cinderella Southern Bell to Manhat- tan sequined glamour. Guys wore black tuxs with coor- dinated cumberbund or matching colored tuxs. Din- ner reservations were at some of Charlotte's fancier restaurants such as Slug's Thirtieth Edition, The Drawbridge and others. Many couples and groups of friends arrived in rented limousines with chauffers. Hlt was worth every bit of the preparation, stated Heather Horton. The Fantastic Shakers entertained with beach mu- sic and some of the top for- ty hits of the day. All who attended cherished the eve- ning spent with either friends or that Usomeone special. Claxton Graham is contem- plating asking that special someone for the next dance. The Fantastic Shakers provided great dancing music for the 1987 Jr.-Sr. Prom.
