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!

Junior Year Full of Fun, Talent Show, class rings, SAT's, ACT's, Prom and lots of schoolwork are all part of being a junior. Junior year is full of fun and excitement combined with hard work. The juniors started the year out with the Talent Show, which was a huge success and said by many to be the best Talent Show ever. The class, as a whole, working together made all the difference. In early December, the juniors received their class rings. This is an ex- citing time and the juniors celebrated with the traditional turning of their rings 87 times, which signifies the year they graduate. Juniors spend a lot of time preparing for college. They take two very important tests- SAT's and ACT's. Many juniors also spent time this year taking SAT ACT preparation courses. The outcome of these tests may affect one's being accepted into a particular college or university. The last event on the junior agenda Hard Work was Jr. Sr. Prom which took place on May 3rd. This was completely sponsored by the Junior Class for the seniors. Prom takes a lot of preparation but the end result is worth it. The end of the year always brings about a little bit of sadness; however, most of the juniors are usually filled with excitement. The anticipation of being seniors the next year keeps all of the juniors rolling and busily on the go.
