esfzfzim oifzss enior prom is one of the major rites of passage for teenagers. Expectations for the evening ran high and it seemed improbable that the actual event would meet those expectations. The dance was scheduled for Friday, May 30th, so rainy weather on Monday and Tuesday was sufficient cause for alami among many potential promgoers. Many listened daily for an extended weather forcast which included the outlook for Friday. Fortunately, Friday was sunny and clear with high temperatures which were fine for the girls who had strapless dresses but a little less pleasing for their escorts who had rented tuxes. Friday morning, ten seniors were excused from classes to decorate the Soangetaha club house for the dance. Yards of dark pink and light pink streamers were strung from a wire above the edges of the dance floor to the chandalier in the center of the room. When pillars of streamers were added to the corners, there was a canopy-like effect. On the outside balcony, streamers were woven between the rungs of the railing. To com- plete the decorations, pink, silver, and clear balloons were filled with helium and tied in bouquets throughout the rooms. That evening while many seniors were pinning on cor- sages and boutonieres, No Secret, the prom band, was setting up equipment under one end of the canopied dance floor. By the time that most prom-goers had fin- ished their dinners at various restaurants, the band was ready to play. No Secret played a variety of popular music which was very danceable. As more couples began to dance, the floor became crowded and those dancing became hot. This was an ideal time to step into the other room for punch and cake or to wander onto the balcony for some fresh air. The evening passed quickly and soon it was time for the dance to end. However this did not signal the end of the night. Seniors hurried home to shed their formal clothes in favor of more casual attire. Then it was time for the Post-Prom at Northgate Bowling Alley. From mid- night until three o'clock students could bowl, play pool, or watch a movie on the big screen 'W provided by Doyle's Furniture. After Post-Prom, some considered the outing finished and headed home for sleep. Others, though, did not go home until after breakfast with their friends on Saturday moming. Expectations for prom night were high. Many were fulfilled, some were not. But even if all the hopes could not be realized, it was still, as the theme stated, A Night to Remember.
