Bad weather prevented a large crowd from attending. (Shucks! We have to blame it on something.) April 23, we had our Junior Prom. It was an Hawaiian theme, grass huts were used for punch stands, palm trees and flowers made the scene even more beautiful. The colors were blue and white in honor of the Seniors.
