SOUTHERN NIGHTS Anticipation is the best part of the prom. Months before the girls begin their shopping expeditions for the perfect dress. The male gender get measured for their first tuxedo. It's life or death to get the exact color, style, and size. As the months pass and the prom is getting closer, the excitement builds. The next decision is who should one ask to the prom? The guy builds his courage to ask that special someone who catches his eye in the hall. The girl takes extra time in the morning, dressing to attract his attention. He asks her to be his date; she replies that she'd love to go. It's a date! Now they can both look forward to the prom knowing that a good time is guaran- teed. Last minute chores still have to be carried out before the prom: flowers and pictures. The flowers must match what the date is wearing. One never knew there were so many different kinds of flowers. Then Mom and Dad want to take pictures. How embar- rassing! But now it's time to journey to the prom. The theme of the prom was South- ern Nights and the music w as by “Too Many People. This was a side of the gym that is only shown once a year. The music was good, the decorations couldn't have been better, and all en- joyed an evening to be remembered. Top Newly crowned queen.
