People came and went in a variety of ways. Typically, couples arrived either in their personal cars or limousines. This year, however, couples showed up in everything from mobile homes, to an execuliner, to a helicopter ... Seeing as how the Monarch was located inland, no one came by water this year, though some did sail a boat to their dinner destination. Some took horse drawn carrige rides around Portland between dinner and the dance. A few enterprising young individuals who decided not to go to prom, chauffeured other couples around to their various destinations. These students had fun and got to see some of the prom magic while profiting from the experience. Mo matter how one got there, prom 88 was a delight.

All of this money and a lot of hard work contributed to the fun and success of prom. Prom started early on in the evening when everyone first began getting ready, next came the time when one picked up or got picked up by their date. Parents got misty-eyed, recalling their prom and took what seemed like a thousand pictures. Then it was off to dinner where everyone ordered something they couldn't pronounce, but what they ate with delight. Prom dinner, it was off to the dance where the administrators and faculty smiled benevolently and everyone looked fantastic. Pink and silver balloons adorned the room and a buffet table with a beautiful ice sculpture of an anchor was set up in the back. Couples mingled, made small talk, and obviously, danced. After the dance, the night was still young. Curfew still wasn't until 3:00 or so, maybe the next morning. After prom activities included romantic walks, concerts, rented rooms, and parties. Whatever one did, it was most likely happy and fun. Michelle Murphy and Joe Martin show that they are enjoying themselves as they stop to admire the dazzling balloon arc that marked the entrance.

Depending on how you spend prom night, the evening as a whole can cost anywhere from $50-$1000 per couple. An average prom night, consisting of a bou-tonnier, a corsage, dinner, and apparel for two costs about $300. By adding or subtracting options you can increase or lower this price. A few chose to eat at home or even on the Senior Lawn. Some girls chose to wear their mother's prom dress from years past or bor- row from friends who went in previous years. Adding to the elegance, some couples chose to rent limousines, hotel rooms, buy professional pictures taken at the dance, or even wear tails, top hats, gloves, and carry a cane. The money spent didn't matter, regardless of how little or how much, when it came down to having a good time. As long as one was with someone fun, the evening was a success.

A few couples went to council crest to look over the breath taking expanse of Portland at night. Waterfront Park was also popular spot for a romantic walk in the moonlight, or just holding hands and talking. The Rose Gardens, especially beautiful at night, was another popular gathering for couples. Here, prom-goers could enjoy the beautiful night as well as the fragrant flowers. A group of students set sail and continued the prom experience on a yacht. They sailed up and down the Willamette River for about an hour and then went on to other activities. Some couples were able to pack many activities into a few hours. Mot only did they go to dinner and the dance, but they also had time to see reggae artist, Ziggy Marley, who was playing at the Starry Might. A lot of people ended their evening at the Portland Hilton. Many couples or groups had parties and invited friends to join them. Problems arose when too many students descended on the hotel. In order to control situations, the hotel management had set up a policy of that only four people would be allowed up per room key and only with a room key. As a result, many couples were turned away. For those few that made it upstairs, a party was waiting. Whether straight from prom or after a successive string of activities, everyone eventually ended up back home. Some kept up the fun prom atmosphere, others watched movies, but in the end, everyone slept. Devin Donnelly, Scott Mclntire, Jordan Bader. Vanessa Pyle.
