A night of Knights e 1985 prom was held on April 13 to the theme of “Medieval Mystique.” The castle-like surroundings of the gymnasium was added to by the red and silver streamers, bubbling fountain, shining moon, and dozens of fresh red roses. Reigning over the 150 couples attending were Prom King Warren Ayala and Prom Queen Melissa Castonguay. The junior class spent over $1,300 on the prom and despite the band, Lady Luck, it was a huge success. Frank Sennett acclaimed part of the success to the large student participation and adult advisors. Nose to nose - Graduates Jeannette Strosaht and David Sale share a romantic slow dance.
