A group of tired dancers rests beneath the refreshing waterfall. PROM High uncomfortable heels, tight choking neckties, stiff unmoveable hair, and circu- lation stopping cummer- bunds are all worthwhile “When I Think of You.” When I Think of You '7 think our junior class did a really good job on this year's prom and I hope next year’s juniors can do just as well,” stated Wendy Jones The 1988 Junior-Senior prom, “When I Think of You,” was definitely a big success. The prom was held at the Botanical Gardens Conservatory in Fort Wayne, an ideal spot for a romantic evening. In the warm spring air, couples were treated to moonlit carriage rides through downtown Fort Wayne. Smiling couples had their pictures snapped in front of jungle-like scenes to retain memories of this year’s prom. The DJ. Jeff Davis of radio sta- tion WMEE. successfully pleased all in attendance by combining various kinds of music to satisfy ev- eryone's style. Couples especially enjoyed the ro- mantic atmosphere of dancing on the open terrace. PROM 19

With the dramatic increase of students and faculty taking up the practice of genuflecting, walking with hands pressed together as if in prayer, and singing in Latin, it would seem as if Manchester High School had been targeted by the Vatican City as its next missionary field. The reason for the strange “habits” taken up by so many at MHS was the presentation of The Sound of Music. Many hours of hard work and prepara- tion went into the production of this superb musi- cal. A large cast and crew spent many weeks and hours preparing music, lines, costumes, and sets which dazzled the audiences who attended the performances. SPRING MUSICAL 21
