graduation PROM awards banquet play The night freshmen think will never arrive because four years seems an eternity, the night everyone awaits with anxious intensity, the night no one forgets, the highlight of Senior Week - The Prom. This year ' s prom was graced by the presence of the class of 1986. After weeks of changing gowns, tuxedos, dinner reservations, corsages, and of course dates, the ballroom at the Marriot Hotel received this year ' s glowing seniors. The D.J. from WCCC FM, otherwise known as the Lich, M.C. ' ed the whole affair and provided music to which everyone jammed . Afterward all the guests attended quiet little gatherings to celebrate the end of their high school career. Later on in the morning people enjoyed breakfast perhaps at someone ' s house home or Denny ' s. The gala certainly upheld the tradi- tion of the Senior Prom at LHS. It was definitely a night to remember. Upper left: Lauren and Fifi smile for the camera. Uper right: HEY, HEY. HEY! Right: Hail, hail the gangs all here

She discussed the importance of living life to the fullest: making committments and taking risks. Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Robert McKanna and Prin- cipal Angelo Teixeira both reinforced Mike ' s discussion of maturity and success of this Senior class. The class gift was then presented, new curtains for the auditorium. Following the distribution of the diplomas, Mr. Teixeira declared the Class of 1986 official graduates of L.H.S.
