Jammin ' To A Record Year Music can range from an easy listening tune such as background ' eleva- tor ' music to a permanent melodic reminder of an in- spiring moment in a per- son ' s life. People of all ages and backgrounds have related to music ' s various forms. Preferences vary from person to person depend- ing on personality, but songwriters and recording artists always relate their work to society ' s good times and hardships. To me, music has been a sign of the changing times, Music is a way of saying what you don ' t know how to say, said Senior Chris McKinney. Nicky Alexander, senior, said. A current trend was the forming of groups as well as the come-back of groups from the past. I thought Bon Jovi would hit the top faster than any other groups, Senior Jes- se Jimenez said of the new group from New Jersey. Recording groups went so far as to remake old songs. Club Nouveau did a Senior Alex Martinez says, I bands, so he uses spare time in find it difficult to keep up with class to catch up on Hit Parader. all the information about remake of ' Lean on Me ' and Cyndi Lauper record- ed a remake of ' What ' s Going On.

' Evening In Paris ' Brings Out Prom Goers Whirling dancers, flying colors, and pulsating mu- sic filled the room as many juniors and seniors milled around in the beau- tifully decorated Elemen- tary Cafeteria. This year ' s prom had the theme of An Evening in Paris . As guests came up the walk, they were treated to flowering trees, street signs that announced the prom, the Eternal Flame, and the Arch of Triumph. The decorations were just beautiful, especially the ones on the entrance, senior Ellen Everett said. On route to the cafete- ria, students walked through a park scene com- plete with birds, trees, streams, and benches. Once inside the doors, the theme An Evening in Paris was everywhere. Decorations included a sidewalk cafe, dress shop, bakery, and Eiffel Tower, and painted murals, and the world famous Moulin Rouge. Food was served from a flowering food cart, and mock champagne from a fountain on a wishing well. Senior, Rachel Cle- ments said, the food was absolutely scrumptious and very tastefully ar- ranged. All in all, the students, teachers, and parents said the prom was very good . Ex-student Ronnie Kidd, who has been going to proms for eight years, called this prom the best one yet. At the end, everyone was happy and satisfied with the prom. It was a very nice farewell to us, Ellen concluded. Seniors Chris Henderson and Elizabeth Gonzales listen to MC as Junior Marcy Mikes and Sen- ior Louis Pierre wait to take pic- tures for the yearbook.
