5 1 Starting From Square One, AGAIN T he date, April l4th, was set a year in advance. Jay Eric and the Blieder's Creek Band and the recreation hall at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church were reserved seven months prior to the date. The decorations were ordered one month ahead of time. And then it was time for the prom. But where were the decorations? On the day before the prom, the decorations had yet to come in. Mrs. Francis Bond, head junior class sponsor, and Christy Atkins, decorations chairperson, kept their cool and started from square one again! They went from decorating house to decorating house collecting what they could to support the theme, It,s A Small World. By ll:00 Saturday morning, the new,' decorations arrived at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. The decorating was supposed to be finished by one o'clock, but it took until 3:30 with eleven people and three sponsors working continuously. After sighs of relief, everyone went home to relax and get dressed. For those going out to eat before the prom, the evening began at 6:00. After the traditional pinning of the corsages and boutonnieres, couples drove to San Antonio for fine dining. Some of the guys went so far as to rent limousines to arrive in style. Following an enjoyable meal it was back to New Braunfels for the prom, which started at 8:00. Im- mediately a line formed to get pictures made by John Marshall. When the dancers got thirsty or hungry, they went to the refreshment table for fresh fruit, desserts, and punch which were provided by Plain or Fancy Caterers. The prom evening was not an inexpensive one. The average cost including tuxedo rental, din- ner, and pictures was around Sl25, not to mention the extra charge for those who rented a limo. When all was said and done, it seemed as if the fuss over the decorations was for nothing. After all the main purpose of the prom was to have some fun and fellowship in a formal way. Slow dancing and swaying to the music is enjoyed by everyone as Jay Eric and the Blieder's Creek Band play. i--'A- my Necessity is always the mother of invention.--Plato and Mrs. Bond prom-25

24-prom A thirty minute wait and seven dollars are all it takes to have your memories recorded on film. Tammy Harvison and Mike Vineyard pose for photographer John Marshall. A new twist to the prom is a dance contest which replaced the traditional reading of the senior wills. Lavonne Schlabach and Tim Doty won the contest with their unique style. Senior wills were not read due to a lack of interest and participation. Cost of prom night goes up. Steven Pusateri is eagerly taking Tom Duke's money in exchange for two prom tickets and a receipt to have pictures made the night of the prom for a total of nine dollars. It's the little things that count. Dana Mills and Linda Pate assemble one hundred tiny parasols to decorate the Japanese section. The room was divided into different areas decorated according to the culture of a chosen country to carry out the theme, It's a Small World.

I am not used to eating sandwiches and chips for lunch, commented Anssi Hyvonen, because in Finland the tax-payers pay for the school lunches. sa . .
