Prom took place in downtown Joliet at the Louis Joliet Renaissance Center on May 14. To maintain the Camelot atmosphere, decorations such as knights, castles, and armor were used. There were many people who helped with the decorations, said Junior Class President Kathy Bertino. I was pleased with the way the decorations turned out, added Kathy. Besides making decorations, the prom committee had many other tasks. Among the tasks were the ordering of bids, flowers, and a band. Bids were blue with the theme written across the front, while red roses were the centerpiece for each table. Straight-No-Chaser was the band that performed at prom. Although the band played a lot of fast songs, I was pleased with their performance, stated Kathy. For the third year in a row, a Prom Prince and Princess were chosen. They were chosen by a random drawing. Only senior couples, junior couples, and junior-senior couples were eligible for the drawing. Senior couple Sam Alesslo and Beth Morrow was the winner of the drawing. They were crowned and danced a spotlight dance. Although things did not turn out exactly how I had planned, I was pleased with the final result of prom. I enjoyed being in charge of the prom and I think the students enjoyed attending it, stated Kathy. fi 'tt lg Brian Oliven Lisa Naiden, Sheiiie Chandler, Steve Fiogina, Brian Phillips, and Chris Stobbe enjoy a breather from dancing.
