Friday, April 29, was one enchanted evening for those attending the Junior-Senior Prom. The chosen location was the Big Eddy Club in Columbus, which helped to establish an elegant environment for the suc- cessful evening. After a warm welcome at seven o'clock from junior class president, Steve Bishop, attendants were allowed to serve themselves to an exquisite buffet of beef ke- bobs, seafood casserole, and all the accessories The highlight of the meal was the memorable Dessert a la Marcel. The program began as those present nibbled on the last delicious morsels. There was an introduction of the class officers and their dates, and an appropriate re- sponse given by senior class president, Hunter Adkins. Hynes Barnes and Jeffrey Todd read the Last Will and Testament of the senior class to an amused audience. The juniors then reciprocated with the presentation of the scrapbook and a wide variety of senior gifts. A delightful addition to the prom was a classic souve- nir for each junior and senior present, an engraved crystal goblet. To round out the evening, Tyler Hill provided music suited for all tastes for the remainder of the evening. I. True enjoyment is reflected on the happy faces of Stacey Collins and David Fagundes. 2.
