' 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. Mark Grant, sophomore, and Joe Borchert, senior, show off their tuxedoes and canes as they wait for the prom to begin at 8 p.m. 24 STUDENT LIFE

I was getting to the point where I needed transportation all the time and I didn ' t want to mooch rides off my friends anymore. Vickie Ellison is just one of many teen-agers who turns hobby-vehi- cles into modes of trans- portation. From skate- boarding to biking to mo- peding, students have found getting from one place to another can be fun if using a unique set of wheels. My usual speed is 30 mph, although it really registers 40, said Cleve- land McKinney of his moped. I believe the greatest conveniences are available parking and easy maneuvering. As far as skateboarding »-T and biking are concerned, they are two of the oldest forms of recreation used for transportation, although these days it can be pretty expensive. Ty Thorman said he paid $150 for his skate- board and Martin Cardenas paid $310 for his BMX bike. ,l vJ w U A. : c Vickie Ellison, sophomore, sports her new red and black striped Spree. 26 STUDENT LIFE
