Nlght to Remember -J ' if are-U' eff' his was it. . .our big night! After all the rush to find just the right dress or the perfect tux, and trying to decide where to eat, and who to eat with . , .the Senior Prom was finally here. After having dinner at Magic Time Machine, Top of Westgate, PTl, and other popular restaurants, we all arrived at the Driskill's Crystal Ballroom. The girls dressed in formals ranging from slinky halters to frilly chiffon, and their dates dressed ln tuxes to complement the color of the dress. The pale blues and pinks, white, and pastel florals blended together to add to the aura of the evening. Seeing our friends out of their faded blue jeans and ragged t-shirts, and dressed for the only formal event many of them will attend, was half the fun. Everyone was so stuffed when the music. supplied by the Crystal Image, began that it took a few songs for the dancing to get started, But after the first few couples got their courage up the dance began to move. Lots of the dances ws it-ft ff were fast and loud, but when the music slowed down and you were dancing close with that special one, the evening took on a dreamlike quality. ln between dances, couples drifted around, talking, drinking the punch from those fascinating fountains, and having their pictures made. The biggest problem with the Prom was that it was over much too soon. So we came up with our own entertainment. Several all night restaurants like Jim's and Jo Jo's were flooded with after Prom breakfast eaters. Others went to friends' houses, or just drove around. We just didn't want this special night to end. But eventually, the dresses were hung in the closets and the tuxes were returned. We fell into bed and drifted off to sleep, dreaming about dancing, soft lights, and flowers. These memories of our special night will last forever . . . Because there is no doubt that This one was for us. prom 49
