February 27 turned out to be a per- fect 73 degree day in Warner Robins, but many did not get to take advantage of the sunshine and warm air. About 25 seniors, along with a few faculty members, arrived at school at 9:00 am Saturday to begin decorating for the Senior Ball. A handful of workers spent the day coiling ivy setting up ta- bles, arranging flowers, and hanging Japanese lanterns and Oriental land- scape scenes which were borrowed from a local church. Throughout the day, seniors could be seen around town at local stores making adjustments on dresses and suits and picking up last minute items such as film, flowers, and money for the night ahead. The many hours of hard work finally paid off. By 6 pm, the otherwise ‘ordinary lobbies had been transfor med, as if by magic, into an exotic Japanese Ballroom. As the sunset faded into the night, the temperature dropped only slightly. An- ticipation and excitement grew, and helped to create an ideal atmosphere for a special night. Although the ball did not start until 8 pm, many couples arrived earlier to have pictures taken before traveling to area restaurants for a formal dinner. Some of the more popular places includ- ed the Green Jacket, Denvers, and Steak and Ale. After dinner, it was back to Northside where Bob’s Mobile Sound provided music and lighting effects for dancing. When the midnight hour arrived, ev- eryone had enjoyed themselves and had stayed until the very end.
