It was a special night for Sandy Campbell, not only because it was Prom night, but also because she re- ceived a diamond. “Charisma,” a local band, entertained prom- goers, and students particularly enjoyed the fact that our own Mr. Joyner was a part of the group. Miss Shull, Mr. Carpenter, Mrs. Greene and her sister Marsha enjoy socializing at the Prom. Prom- 23

22-Prom Juniors Rusti ite Get Ready One o'clock. The juniors walked into the ballroom; their faces fell. Nothing was ready. Tables had to be set up, the floor mopped, the picture background stuffed with tissue, the gazebo painted, the stage for the band decorated, and streamers as well as table decorations had to be put in place. As the clock struck five, the juniors scur- ried home to get ready for their big night. Everything was in place, and it looked like a “Sweet Dream.” Their task was finished, the band, “Charisma,” had set up, and the prom was two hours away. As the clock struck eight, the ballroom was already filled, not because of the num- ber of people, but because of the space some girls took up with their ‘Southern Belle” gowns. Some were surprised at how festively the ballroom was decorated. Since the ju- miors had not purchased many decorations because of limited funds, the gazebo used last year was a familiar sight, though it was decorated differently.

24-Prom It Was A Special Night Because of the confusion of the year drawing to an end, it had been hard for everyone to get together. The prom brought many together, especially the seniors. It would be their last high school dance and their last chance to spend time together as a class, as a group, as friends. Although it was a humid night, many couples enjoyed the music outside on the porch. There they took time to rest their feet and chat with friends. Whether inside or out, this was a special night for them, and most stayed and danced until the end. Though the dancing ended at twelve, there were still places to go to end the night. The prom was over, but the mood was still there to have a good time. Everyone had their own plans of getting together with friends or going home to relax, but they all remembered the special event that started the evening. The Prom had been a success.
