BURSTING AT THE SEAMS, THE ARMORY WAS SETTING FOR ’86 PROM Transformed into a fantasy night filled with twinkling stars, glittering from the paper appended to the otherwise ugly walls, the Armory took on a romatic aura as couples in their formal finery danced to the strains of (1) Power Play. Cherish” was the theme song. With one end featuring a huge painted mural of tree and flower-lined road up to a flowing waterfall cascad¬ ing like rushing time, those in attendance (3) feasted and frolicked in a charming atmosphere created by the Junior class. In a note of nostalgia, their moral was “Cherish today; cherish the life.” Prophetically — the Bakery Lounge has been selected for the scene of the ’87 Prom. (4) Couples on the crowded dance floor felt the heat as well as the beat, (2) but Meg Wilson and David Clarke didn ' t seem to notice. (5) Enjoying themselves at the prom were Ann Harrell, Clint Dunlow, Brad Luynch, anu Deborah Dunlow. (6) Hosts and hostesses Thorpe Vaughan, Vanessa Thomas, Mrs. Roach (sponsor), Shanda Mason, Shelly Scott, and Corey Phipps like their “jobs.”
