We’ve Got Tonight With the theme being “We've Got Tonight’’, most people felt that the 82-83 Prom was just that, their night. The Prom was special because it was the last time other than at graduation that most seniors would be together. The Prom was made special by the hard work of the ju- nior class officers and the numerous other people who came out to work every night. The funds for the Prom were provided by the proceeds from the talent show, college calendar sales, and other funds from the treasury. Many hours of planning preceded the actu- al preparation for the Prom.

The decorations pertained to a big city theme. Giant murals were hung on each wall with each depicting scenes from a big city. Finally, the night that every- one had been waiting for ar- rived.

However, it was known that ‘Student Day” provided an action packed event in which the faculty and students took a break from vigorous studying in or- der to socialize and show team spirit. Student Day was the ninth game of the season in which Franklin County hosted Mar- tinsville. The game was wit- nessed by a crowd of over 1,300 people.
