Prom began the last phase of Senior school activities, but for the Juniors in attendance it was a new beginning. The evening began as the couples en- joyed delicious meals at places such as the Marriot, the Sheraton, the Ramada Renais- sance, the Tobacco Company, and Crab Louie's. The musical entertainment was provided by the Magnetics who played top 40 songs. Finally, after a long wait, the Prom Figure began. When Kristie Bishop and Lori Bla- sioli announced the start, participants rushed to find their escorts. They began to form the three symbolic figures of a heart, a “M and ‘87 to honor the graduating class. Following the completion of the figure, Prom King and Queen were announced. Joe Guth and Cindy Shelton reigned over the crowd. The theme ‘‘Forever By My Side” will al- ways be remembered by the countless pic- tures taken. As the evening came to a close, talk revolved around parties, the beach, and early morning breakfasts. The Junior class gave the Seniors a prom to remember as the night will never be for- gotten. Royalty, Prom King Joe Guth and Queen Cindy Shel- ton pause for a picture before their traditional dance. Prom 15
