refsecf fo Impress Not many people dress like this every day. For most students such an opportunity arises only once a year on the first Saturday in May. The '87 Prom, with the theme Come Share My Love, gave juniors and seniors a chance to lead a more glamourous life than usual. The elaborate pre- prom dinner, the expensive gown and tuxedo, and a dance in the transformed gym made the occasion special. Prom queen Alicia Smith said, I almost decided not to attend this year's prom, but l'm sure glad I did. Photo by B. Burgin. Who wants to spend their summer vacation attending classes, listening to teachers, and doing homework? Most teenagers use their summer break to relax and escape the structure of the classroom, but a few students took advantage of some of the many summer programs offered throughout the state. With leadership and yearbook camps plus other seminars, senior Darrin Turner complained, l was only home about two weeks all summer! F.H.A. club members helped prepare and serve the banquet honoring these dedicated students in September. Photo by B. Burgin. Current events usually presented at school deal with the crisis in the Middle East and political scandals, but rarely involve the fashion industry. Last year's Walk This Way fashion show previewed the latest designs in sportswear, swimsuits, and formal wear. l enjoyed being able to model clothes l don't getto wear everyday, said Alison Smith, the fashion merchandising student shown in the photo to the left wearing a gown from Bridal Boutique.

UMMED OU ummern. lbum + erl slang: an unpleasant experience. That's a bummer to Websters Col- legiate dictionary, but when does a bummer really happen? For some it is probably different than others. Af- ter all, not every unpleasant experi- ence happens to everyone. For some it may have to deal with getting a date, like Melissa Sec- reast who said it's a bummer when I meet this really good looking guy and he stands up and is four inches shorter. For Carole Oakes it's a bummer when You get a date with this real hunk of a guy and he shows up with his girlfriend. Most bummers are small ones that deal with basic every day ex- periences. Sleeping through your file alarm clock, a thunderstorm alter you washed and waxed your car, a power outage when you're working on a computer, and running out of gas are examples of such an- noyances. Others are a bit more extreme. Steve Stoner thinks it's a bummer when You dive off of a diving board and your swimming trunks fall off. An anonymous student said that the ultimate bummer is getting a final grade of 68 in English. While bummers may be different for different people, probably Chris- tie Nichols probably summed it up best for most of the seniors by say- ing, lt's a bummer when you get seniorltis the first day of school.
