Festive evening celebrated in various ways G® ©Tamil lMffl5®®om Although tradition is present at the Junior-Senior Prom, this year the spring formal was altered. The Prom was held at JR’s Roller Castle instead of the Middle School Cafeteria. “The theme Masquerade Ball was much more affective at JR’s than it would have been in a stale smelling cafeteria,” stated Robin Matchett. Some couples went all out for Prom, such as Tim Christenson and Shawn Smith. They hired a professional photographer, rented a limousine for eight and a half hours, and ate dinner at Cygnus, a very fancy restaurant featured on top of the Grand Plaza Hotel. “I enjoy being different and since this is my last Prom, something inside me told me to go all out!” said Tim Christensen. But, money doesn’t always make the night special. Senior Vicki Meyer and Junior John Dietzel fixed a quiet dinner at Vicki’s house rather than eating at a restaurant. “Although the majority of my friends went out for dinner, 1 thought it would be more enjoyable to eat in the privacy of my home.” Indeed Prom was a spe- cial moment. Four Sophomores graciously dressed in Butler and Maid uniforms and offered satin masks for souvenirs, strawberry punch, and small appetizers. White pillars, a canvas painted drama mask, an enormous amount of black, white and silver helium balloons floated among the colored lights, while upbeat music filled the dance floor. With all of these special decorations, a romantic atmosphere had transformed a rollerskating rink into a breathtaking Ballroom. All the fun didn’t end after the Prom, as a group of Parents sponsored a Casino Night that was held from one until three. As couples entered the Community Center, each person was handed 50,000 in paper money and was invited to gamble at the blackjack tables, craps tables, poker games, and roulette wheels. After gambling for an hour, the couples were awarded a number of tickets for the percentage of money they had won. Such things as stereos, pop coolers and beach blankets were raffled off. What could be more appropriate than dancing in a castle on prom night? Disc ockey “Pep Spence Gie-sen had many couples twirling around the floor. Couples sip punch while taking a break from dancing and socializing with each other. Prom — 27
