Hotel John Marshall Hosts Prom Prom was on the tip of everyone's tongue, but it was especially on the minds of the junior class officers and represen- tatives. Prom is the main event of the year, symbolizing the juniors’ hard work and the seniors last dance and farewell. ‘‘We’ve Only Just Begun” was chosen as the theme to symbolize the changes that had taken place during the year. The John Marshall Hotel in downtown Richmond hosted the event. It was held in the Roof Garden on the fourteenth floor overlook- ing the city skyline. On arriving at the Prom, Prom servers handed out memory books and took up invitations, which were returned after the Prom. They also helped serve the re- freshments, which the John Marshall ca- tered.

City Lights Set Mood For Prom The Voltage Brothers provided music for the dance. The nine-man band danced in unison and played such songs as “Shake It Up,”’ ‘‘Ebony and lvory,”’ and “‘Cool.’’ Then, the honored Prom Figure was performed. Several practices had been held in order to facilitate the event at the John Marshall. Senior and junior class officers, their dates, and outstand- ing seniors were chosen to participate in the figure. The group made a heart, an ’82, and an ‘‘M’”’ while junior Kay Hargrave announced the couples. As camera flashes sparkled the room, proud parents took pictures of their children at their last high school dance. Brian Bartlett and Katherine Grady were chosen as King and Queen. As the lights dimmed and students re- laxed to the music of the Voltage Broth- ers, there came atime to reflect back and reminiscence about the past, catch up with old friends, and look forward to the times to come.
