Prom Dreams The Prom theme pro- claimed that ‘‘Dreams Are Forever.’ Prom signaled the beginning of the senior activi- ties that would end the year, and it gave juniors their first taste of the “Senior Life.” Most couples began their evening by dining out. Eric's, The Tobacco Company, and the Officer’s Club were popu- lar choices among seniors. Couples began arriving at DSGC at 8:00. They were greeted by sophomore prom servers and given memory books. Prom figure began with the formation of a heart. The par- 16 Prom ticipants, who were leaders in clubs or sports, then formed an ‘‘M and an “86” to honor the graduating class. After the figure, Prom King and Queen were announced. Lee Farmer and Cheryl Bagby were picked by their classmates to reign over the evening. Students then danced to the sound of Excaliber, who mixed top forty hits with all time favorites. Many couples braved the long picture line; while others decided that an hour wait was too long. Cou- ples later attended breaktasts and a beach party at 7 lst Street of Virginia Beach. Briefing the mascots, Mrs. Janet Nuchols and Myra Shumate give directions to Johnathan - and Stephanie Shumate. — Despite his soccer injury, Aaron Glauser partici- pates in Prom Figure with Keri Hargrave.
