Poems, Prayers And Promises Fill Evening While he worried about getting his clip-on bow tie straight without chok- ing himself, she was wondering why her eyelashes would not curl and how she would keep her hair up all night. Finally, with the hours of preparation behind them, it was time for the Prom. Poems, Prayers, and Promises was the theme for the 1979 Junior-Senior Prom held at Voile Vista Country Club. Class officers Dove Emmett, Susie Hin- kle, and Molly Clemans welcomed many formally dressed couples to the Prom. An excellent buffet dinner was offered for those who chose to eat at Voile Vista. The Dad ' s Club provided the auto volet service which had be- come a Dad ' s Club tradition. Just Friends furnished music to which couples danced throughout the evening. Jackie Tinnerman and Tracy Gentry were selected to reign as Prom Queen and King. Bow ties, curled eyelashes, and the whole Prom was something students could remember all their lives.

Yet even when the games were finished, the championship was still in doubt because of scoring errors. The Sophisticats were proclaimed the winners only to have that decision overruled and the championship awarded to the Super Babies. There was no doubt about the winner of the best costumes, the Bad Habbits clad in garters and slits reaching mid-calf, took top honors in the homeroom con- vocation. After the games were over and done, one thing was known; the Mini-Olympics proved to be one of the highlights of the seniors ' last year. It was a day to look back on and re- member for the rest of their lives. It was a day when they were stripped of their sophisticated senior title, and they re- linquished it to the juniors.
