The class of 1974 had a harder time of fund-raising for their prom than most classes, due to the fact that all but a small percentage of the finances were obtained during the course of the school year. However, with the help of the Sugar n’ Spice Bowl, sales of the Nelson County Times and of candy, the prom was provided for. The actual decorating began the week of May 20. Juniors donated their time out of study hall, after school, and at night to prepare the gym, which was off limits to anyone but juniors, for Friday night at 8:00 p.m. The theme, “Dancing in the Moonlight, was carried out in crepe paper ball “moons in the ceiling. Starred streamers flowed from the side of the walls np to a large “moon” in the center of the gym. Sides of the stage that the band, “The Real Thing, played on were covered with star-studded crepe paper. Refreshments were highlighted by a three tier cake decorated with the idea of “Dancing in the Moonlight.” The main prop of the prom was an en¬ trance foyer, constructed by the shop class and decorated with green-and-gold tissue paper. At midnight of May 25, the prom came to a close. The Cinderellas and their Prince Charmings, after the ball, left for home or for one the after-prom parties. None of the carriages turned to pumpkins, nor did any drivers change to mice, but the prom participants had to once again re¬ sume their daily routines. 24 v

RAP ROOM Rap Room, sponsored by the Guidance Department, is a place where students can go once a week during their study hall and discuss topics of interest. A counselor is al¬ ways present to observe and contribute to the discussion. The purpose of the room is to give students a chance to express themselves on issues that concern them. It provides an excellent place to “let off steam.” A few of the topics discussed this year included the food in the cafeteria, rea¬ sons for so few dances this year, school rules, and Rlack History Week. 26
