A Romantic Evening It was truly a memorable evening. It was the Junior Prom and juniors had looked forward to this evening since they were freshmen. On May 19, 1987, after weeks of planning, juniors, dressed in tuxedos and long for- mal gowns, were ready for their night. Earlier in the evening the oc- casion really began with frantic moments and shouts of Where is my tie? Is my hair okay? How do I look? and Is my dress wrinkled? Anticipation filled the air. The ballroom at the Murat Shrine had been decorated ear- lier that day. Balloons were in place. Tables were set. Stars with names of junior couples complemented the setting. The deejay for the evening was Commander Tilford. The theme of the evening was Al- ways by Atlantic Starr, and the prom colors were royal blue and silver. When the evening came to an end, these juniors had their sou- venirs, their flowers, and many pleasant, romantic memories of their Junior Prom. The music of Commander Tilford pro- vides the atmosphere for some roman- tic, slow dancing. The Junior Prom ' s royal couple.

September Brings Changes In August the football, vol- leyball, and cross country teams began their seasons. In Septem- ber the doors of school were opened and students and staff began another school year. As students entered the building on the first day of school, the building looked the same, but the attitude of the students was more positive. Speaking as a proud adminis- trator. Principal Eugene Austin remarked, I feel this year is the best turn out in ten years. The new school year brought with it several changes. There were seventeen teachers who were new to the school. Mr. Li- gon Drane became the new vice-principal. CASPER, a computerized attendance program that was used on a trial basis last year, became a permanent program this year. A new football stadi- um was ready for home games when the season opened. A new busing system began this year. Instead of using Met- ro buses, a fleet of yellow buses transported students to and from school. The opening of school was a pleasant blend of the old and the new. Carrying books from the bookstore to the classroom, Paul Miles, senior, Ken- ny Riggens. junior, and Ed Darden, sen- ior, leisurely stroll down the hall. With textbooks and notebooks in hand, sophomores Patti Floyd and Jennifer Spencer hurry to get to class on time. Going over an assignment with her class, English teacher Mrs. Barbara Rice seems at home in her new sur- roundings. I — 10 Opening of School
