Li. 86 Turns a Ihmw Dear l)iar . You wouldn't believe the incredible time I had at Ring Dance last night. I felt like Cin- derella as I stepped into the limousine; my date and I looked so elegant. He bought me a wrist corsage of pink I was really nervous when my date and I had to walk across the bridge and receive our rings. And, Diary, he kissed me in front of everyone! I was so embarassed! We left a little early and went to some hotel parties to celebrate roses that matched my satin hoop dress year! perfectly . Six of us went on a triple date, first for a candlelight dinner at the Lighthouse and then to the dance at the Hilton. The mood was festive, and the D.J. played the best songs from 'Missing You to Rock Lobster . It was the highlight of my junior — Paul Robertson Class of '86 the arrival of our rings, and then we began the goal of turning them — 86 turns! We capped off the evening with a long walk on the beach and breakfast at Poppies. It all seems so unreal today, but I have my new class ring, a sign of twelve years of hard work, to prove that it was more than a sweet dream. A beach landscape and multicolored ballnxims brighten Ring Enjoying the r elaxation or a slow dance are Ryan Matyas and Dance's atmosphere. Amy Boren. 18 Student Life
