T Preparing for an Exciting Event Much preparation goes into the making of the promg not just by the members of the junior class who sponsor the event, but also by all of those who plan to attend. The junior class worked diligently during the 81-82 school year to achieve their goal for the junior-senior prom that was to be held at the prestigious, yet quite expensive, Crown Center Hotel. Selling magazine subscriptions, cheese, grapefruit, and oranges, the ju- niors worked toward at first what seemed like unrealistic goals. Bake sales that were held by the juniors offered students occasions to munch and enjoy home-baked goods. Money that was needed by the junior class did not just cover the 518.50 per person meal for the occasion. Even though juniors and seniors that were bringing outside guests had to foot their guests' bill, teachers, administration, school board members, spouses or dates recieved free seating. Keep-sake glasses, memory books, decorations, the hired band, and other expenditures all added up to quite a sum. Although the defecit for the expenses was not completely covered at the time of the prom, steps were taken to alleviate the bill. Those attending prom were caught up in the whirlwind several months in advance. Wanting to look their best, the ladies purchased long gowns, hoping they were one of a kind. Hair appointments were set up and other accessories were bought or borrowed. The majority of the gentle- men rented tuxedos from mostly Blue Spring dealers, sometimes shoe rental was also neccessary. The day of prom, students busied themselves trying to make them and their surroundings shine. Cars were washed and waxed, hair curled, out- fits pressed and nails painted all trying to make the special evening shine brightly Choosing from a wide variety senior Elaine Mann stops at The Gallery for a dress hunt ing adventure frightj Part of the preparation for prom was purchasing prom glasses and memory books ffar rightj 62!
