A MIGHT OF DREAMS Night fell cool and clear on May 21st as couples slowly arrived at Fort Monroe Officers Club. Drifting in the night air were the sounds of the bands Kicks and Colours as each performed their version of the Prom theme, Grammy Award Song of the Year Sailing, by Christopher Cross. Black and white tuxedoes escorted varied colored formals to the dance floor to move to the music —a popu¬ lar variety including New Wave, Southern Rock and Rock-n-Roll. Due to the lack of time, a Prom Court was not chosen. This went unnoticed as friends greeted each other with smiles and hugs and discussed their evening. Several of last year ' s adminis¬ trators attended which brought back old memories, a welcome addition to an exciting evening. A light buffet was frequented, as was the punch bowl and soft drink taps. After several encores by Colours, couples left for parties and early breakfasts just after one o ' clock in the morning. The Prom was over, but the memories will linger for a long, long time. Demonstrating a new dance step, Barry Marushi gets the whole class involved. Thinking of the night, Belinda Bowen looks off at the surrounding scenery while David Riddle looks at her. 30 • Senior Prom
