Stars of ’86 By Renee Ross For those who attended the prom, the memories will last a lifetime. The theme for the event was “Stars of ’86” chosen to commemorate the year of Halley’s Comet and point out that each member of the Class of ’86 is a star in his own personal way. The evening was full of dancing, taking pictures and reminiscing with a slide show of the seniors in younger days presented by Hal Schmidt, First Baptist Church youth director. The Junior Class officers planned the prom under the direction of Mrs. Carol Scog- gins, sponsor. Patrick DISCUSSING OLD TIMES with former student Bervin Coleman. Joe Polk, Mavis McCoy, and Kenneth Garland remember some of the brighter moments. Prom memories will last a lifetime hat Special Night Powdrill, president of the Senior Class, gave a response after the Junior Class officers made their presentation. After more dancing and ad- miring the attire of friends, each couple, whether in a limousine of diesel truck, left to enjoy a nice quiet dinner at Steak ’N Ale, Johnny Case’s, La Hacienda or in some cases, The Hot Biscuit. So, even if one’s date was a terrible dancer or the pictures didn’t turn out perfectly, the seniors of ’86 will treasure special memories shared with special friends.
