Seniors Erin Ejrhart and Rebecca Rainer find that Kevin Kiesel and Michael Caipentcr are good for chairs as well as just for dates. v After being friends for four years, seniors Amy Weidig and Tricia Santos have no problem showing off together in front of the camera. Juniors Ren-Hwj Hu, Jeff Hastings, and John Ervin get ready to pick up their dates, complete with corsages, a limo, and even a hired driver. Though it is customary for the guy to pick up the girl, seniors Keeley Clark and Brian Fcnn see no reason why they cannot do things differently. A Night To Remember Technically, prom only lasted for about twelve hours on the night of May 3. In reality, the time consumed included weeks of preparations beforehand and weeks of gossip and talk afterwards. Starting before Easter, guys began planning who they were going to ask, girls began wondering if and when they would be asked. Then of course, there were tuxes to rent, gowns to be made or bought, and numerous other details. Finally, the day arrived. It began early with last-minute preparations. Guys were seen out picking up tuxes and corsages. Girls were rushing around picking up boutonnieres and forgotten accessories, stopping off at the beauty shop on the way home. At around six o'clock, most students could be seen pinning on each others' flowers, smiling at the same time for Mom and Dad's camera. Though many couples ate out at such places as The Camelot Club, Koto's, and The Oak Tree, the trend this year was to have small dinner parties at home. Between eight and nine o'clock, everyone started piling into the Faculty Club at LSU. The first order of business, besides hugging every friend one saw, was to get in line for formal pictures. After the wait, the rest of the night was free to dance to Fcrdie and the Popsiclcs, talk with friends, and pose for Party Pics. Recalls junior Kevin Buchert, I had a good time, an excellent time. It was great when people got on stage to sing and dance with the band. Following the dance, everyone met at J.J. Safer's house for an after-party. Most people arrived in cars, but some showed up in limos, and still others came in a trolley. After mixing and mingling for a couple of hours, the cars, limos, and the trolley rounded the corner to Mike Vick's house. There, the mothers had an incredible breakfast buffet waiting. Senior Britton Mangham remembers his last high school dance as the best dance all year. I'll never forget it! 41
