Preparation for Prom began weeks, even months before the special April night. Long hours were spent by girls on endless shopping trips in search of just the right dress. Guys put in their fair share of time as they rented tux- edos and ordered corsages, attempt- ing to match their dates. Suddenly the day was here, but something was differ- ent this year. That un- known illness that al- ways strikes students in mass proportions on the day of Prom, leaving them no choice but to stay home from school, was mysteriously cured. Perhaps this was due to the fact that Prom was on a Saturday night, not its traditional Friday. When Saturday ar- rived, moms were heard exclaiming Ooohl Don't they look adorable, while couples went through all possible poses for that perfect picture. And who could forget dad with his trusty movie cam- era videotaping every move? On to the Stouffer Concourse l-lotel, students danced the night away to mu- sic by RENT-A-JOCK. Soon it was time to eat. The overall cost of the hotel and meal came to about fB14,000, according to Mr. Steve Tebow, junior class sponsor. Some wondered why their thousand dollar steaks were served basically rare and Alter quieting the crowd, Junior Class Officers Angela Waters and Chandra Bell announce Prom Court. why their green beans tasted plastic. But others thought their meals were much improved. Clint Barr 1123 com- mented, People who did not go to prom last year cannot complain about this year's food. It was a lot better just because it was edible! Around 10:45 p.m., the music came to a halt. Prom-goers pulled up chairs and crowded around the dance floor. It was time to crown the Queen! Fietiring royalty Gina Lederle 1123 and Brad Traupmann 1123 sat on their thrones for the last time and smiled at each other across the ten-foot space. Junior class offi- cers Chandra Bell and Angela Waters an- nounced the Prom Court. The awaited moment had arrived! Juniors Chris Oliva and Christy Jones were. pronounced the 1988 King and Queen. Christy said that she was so surprised she couldn't remember her reaction. Doug Weise 1my escort3 told me later that when they an- nounced my name l jumped backwards, explained Christy, I wish it would happen again so l could remember itl Even though the dance was about to end, the night was far from over. Cou- ples rushed to their cars or limos, and hurried on their way to parties. The next morning, most went out for breakfast, officially ending Prom for another year. 1Rachel Fayman and Beth Osterloh3 Prom
