uniors step closer to seniorhood Celebrations of a year completed d the nearing of summer took any forms, and one way students ew studies were ending was the olding of the junior Prom. Held in the Texas Room of the Club Friday, April 24, about couples were there to party and have a fun evening. Decorated to suit the theme of Step Closer , a step was even at the door to represent the of seniorhood for the juniors. The decorations were really ex- said junior Class President Epps. They were done by McBride, our Class secretary, she really did a great job. Supplying the music for the danc- g couples was the band Sky King. We originally were supposed to ve the band Firewater, but unfor- nately their equipment had been len, so they were replaced by Sky 'ng, explained junior Principal Mr. mes McDonald. Adding to the excitement of the ght was the crowning of a prom ng and queen. Out of six nominees, ree girls and three guys, Karen An- eoli and Mark Elkins were owned. Karen and Mark then shared a slow dance in their honor. Being crowned prom queen was such an honor, said Karen. It was a great addition to the night! Another added attraction was a slide show held during one of the band's breaks. There were slides cap- turing special moments of juniors during the year. The slides were humorous, said junior Cary Cox. There were some great pictures. For some the evening ended at 12 p.m. when the prom was over, but for others, the night land weekendj had just begun. We rented a beach house and spent the weekend there with a few other couples, said junior Wayne Andrews. Six of us went up to Brad Lynch's lakehouse at Livingston and just played and skied all weekend, said junior Sandy Alfeld. Whatever was done to top off the weekend, the prom was certainly the highlight of it all. I think just about everyone that went had a good time, said junior Becky Camel.
