Senior Tiffany Bryant anxiously awaits her date, senior Eric Noakes to return with her glass of punch. Classic Occasion The students were very busy the week of prom. All the girls had dis- cussed what dress they were going to wear. The boys scurried about making dinner reservations and tuxedo rent- als. When that night arrived the city seemed to light up with a spectacular variety of lovely young ladies and handsome gentlemen. The prom was held in the ballroom at Mary Wash- ington College. It was an enchanted evening after all preparations were finished. There were a few problems before the prom. One problem experienced was that the theme and theme-song did not match. The theme was “Two Occa- sions,” but the song was “Stairway to Heaven.” After a re-vote the theme and theme song matched to “Two Occa- sions.” The court was just dazzling in- cluding the king, Eric Bates, and queen, Jennifer Edge.

| i Two Welsh visitors see their first glimpse of James Monroe. The students enjoyed coming to school with their hosts and one student commented that the Welsh teachers seem to be more strict. Katie Williams and Katie Davies, two Welsh guests, await their visit of Fredericksburg. When asked how she liked America, Katie Davies said, “It is brilliant; really sound.” After getting off the bus, two Welsh students anticipate meeting their new friends. That night, the students en- tertained their newly-found friends by singing songs ranging from old Beatle favorites to the Welsh National Anthem. Cherishing Memories Visitors were welcomed into the school and sang their way into the hearts of the students and faculty. The Abergele Welsh Choir from Wales came to Fredericksburg to share their music. The students toured Freder- icksburg, went shopping, and had the seare of their lives at the Jaycee’s Haunted House between their singing performances. One Welsh student, Katie Williams, was quoted as saying, “The United States was as brilliant as we expected, a bit better.’”’ The week ended in tearful good-byes with mem- ories of a lifetime.
