Prep- arations for the Prom began months in ad- vance of the May 19th date. While stu- dents were making dates, the Junior Class was hard at work deciding on a place to hold the Prom. They eventually decided on the Defense General Supply Center's Cafeteria. The day arrived and after many pictures and elegant dinners, students entered the DGSC Cafeteria and were greeted by Prom Servers taking invitations and hand- ing out memory books. Listening to the music of sophomore Kristen Benson and her band, Excalibur, students danced the night away. At 10 o'clock, Prom Figure participants executed the traditional fig- ures such as the symbolic ‘‘M” represent- ing the school and an ‘'84” honoring the — graduating class. As Prom Figure was completed, the Prom King and Queen were chosen. Scott Ford and Mandy Hamner reigned over the crowd for the remainder of the evening. As the night progressed, talk and expecta- tions turned to breakfasts, beach trips, and other activities to come. ‘4 me uve gue 4 5 45 wy 5 KX 44s am ws RIA SIM RM 4 are a ren ce ee . aa Singing the King and Queen’s song, sophomore Kristen Benson puts her heart into the melody.

Farewell Friends Marking the end of their high school life, the Senior Assembly honored outstanding graduates. But, somehow it also marked the beginning of a new, more successful life. Early that morning, Seniors were treated to a breakfast hosted by the Senior Class Sponsors. After eating, Seniors lined up with their escorts and proceeded into the gym. During the assembly, the student body lis- tened to their class history read by Kim Thomas as well as a special poem read by Vice President Marci DiRenzo from the Ju- nior Class. Many Seniors were honored with scholarships and awards from the school departments, colleges, and the community. Valedictorian Alan Donley and Salutatorian Kelly Hathaway were named. The highest honor presented to a Senior, ‘Graduate of the Year,’’ was given to Many Hamner for her outstanding lead- ership and scholastic achievements. She was given a standing ovation from the stu- dent body. At the culmination of the assembly, a tradi- tional ‘‘moving of the Junior Class’ to the Senior section took place. Juniors enjoyed some of the Senior Privileges for the rest of the day. Receiving the “Graduate of the Year” award, Mandy Hamner also receives a standing ovation from the student body. 22 Senior Assembly
