Juniors Present Everything's Coming Up Roses Prom. The word stirs up visions of corsages, tuxedos, fine food, and limousines. And, of course, a lot of serious partying as well. This year's Junior-Senior Prom was all of the above, and quite a bit more. Held this year on May 3, Prom (or perhaps one should say, preparations for Prom) began early that afternoon. Juniors and seniors were scurrying all over the busy metropolis of Baton Rouge getting hair done and picking up corsages and boutonnieres. The guys tried on their tuxes one final time, making sure everything fit. The girls were busily calling up friends and discussing such important issues as shadow shades and what earrings to wear. The dance, held at the L5U Faculty Club, went from 8 to 11:30. The cutoff time to get to the dance was 9, so many people had to make early dinner reservations, some as early as 6. The juniors and seniors ate at a variety of restaurants, including such fine estab- lishments as 'Joey's, The Place, and Fairchilds. Fairchilds was definitely the place to be this year, as even Fr. and Mrs. Hancock came to dine there with the students. There were quite a few restaurant stories to tell. Take, for example, senior Angel French: I ordered a sort of pie for dessert at Fairchilds. When the waiter brought it to me, he informed me that 1 was supposed to eat this sort of pie with my fingers. Eat it with my fingers I did, in my Prom dress and everything. Needless to say, I got some pretty strange looks that evening. After dinner, the Knights boarded their limos and parents' cars and went off to the dance. The band, Magga Brain, was rockin' the Club, but many had to do the usual wait-in-line-to-take-the-formal-picture routine. After the wait, however, there was some serious dancing. And who said the Knights can just dance? Junior Heather Fierabend and senior Randy Piedrahita showed off their rappin' talents, and even Cmdr. Ed Wirt got into the act with his own version of The Roof is on Fire. Party Pics was definitely busy that night, especially since this was the seniors' final dance together. Many of the Knights rented hotel rooms to party in afterwards, but the official after-party was held at junior Katherine Crabtree's house from 12 to 2:30. Around 2:30, after partying themselves out, the juniors and seniors went to a nice, hot breakfast at junior Michael Carpenter's house. What time did the Knights finally drag afterwards? Most came home be tween 5 and 6, but some didn't make it home until the following afternoon. It is obvious that Prom is definitely not for the weak at heart - some people slept until Sunday night. But when asked about the Prom, seniors Angel French and Mark Stuckey best summed up everyone's feelings about the event: Definitely thumbs up!

Senior Retreat: Fun Plus A Whole Lot More Take seven canoes, two spooky ghost stories, eight warm cabins, one big bonfire, hundreds of roasted marshmallows and no homework. Add 75 spirited seniors. Mix these ingredients together for three days in the beautiful central Louisiana woods. Sounds like a recipe for fun, frolicking, and friendship. The Class of 1986's Retreat toCamp Hardtner was all that, but also much more. Sunday, November 3, was a very chilly day for the beginning of this special weekend. Nevertheless, the seniors' spirits were quite high, as were those of the eight chaperones, who were Dr. and Mrs. Pitre, Mrs. Weidig, Mrs. Stuckey, Mr. Bosse, Mrs. Donalson, Father Ray and Fa- ther Hancock. For the first time, the Retreat, which is usually held in the spring, was held in November. Nicole Johnson thought the change was an improvement in that it brought us closer together at the beginning of the year. This year's group had the highest participation rate ever, and the two school buses were barely large enough to hold the participants, sleeping bags and pillows. The days at Camp Hardtner were filled with many interesting group activities, but also there was plenty of free time for individuals to do as they pleased. Candace Tull fondly remembers peaceful early morning canoeing in the fog with the ducks. On the other hand, many seniors remembered the water fights in the canoes. Jennifer Smith enjoyed just sitting around and singing old songs while Fr. Ray played his guitar. Other seniors appreciated the rappin' talents of Will Latham and Rob Sindelar. The various nights' activities included movies, skits, a bonfire and a few ghost stories. The daytime group activities were more on the serious side. After early morning chapel and a good hot breakfast, the seniors were ready to break up into smaller groups and discuss their morals and values. Sherry Manno felt that these sessions were rewarding because they really made me think about myself and what I wanted out of life. In one session the seniors had to determine their own characteristics and what they were looking forward to in a spouse. Due to their various compatibilities. Will Latham and Carrie Wilder were judged to be the perfect couple for 1986. Tuesday morning, before heading back to school, the seniors took part in a tearful Eucharist celebration. Exhilarated by the fresh air and the beautiful surroundings, yet tired from the football games, everyone sadly boarded the buses, signalling the end of this year's Retreat. Many seniors agreed that the greatest benefit was getting to know everyone better and breaking outside of their normal circle of friends for a change. Overwhelmingly, the seniors' last wish was that possibly another rewarding Retreat could be cooked up for spring! Senior Retreal 7
