McGa.rvey agreed, lt was the most fun be- cause we spent the day at the lake with our closest friends. But about 15 couples had a lot of trouble on an adventure to the Little Missouri River. i'When we got there the wa- ter was low, there were too many bugs, and we for- got the matches so we ate raw weiners, ex- plained Kelly Shope.

Despite the downpoun Promgoers experienced a S tango igh t n May 16th at8:OO, the only place the stars were shining was inside the Pleasant Grove Cafeteria at the Junior-Senior Prom. For the second consecutive year, rain tried to hinder the special event, but nothing could stop the silver stars sparkling against the black visqueen walls surrounding the students on the dance floor. Though some students were pessimistic about hav- ing the prom at the school, decorations totally transformed it into a very special atmosphere. i'Because we had the prom at the school, we had more money to spend on the prettiest decorations, said Phyllis Tipton. Over a thousand silver stars were placed on the walls, tables and ceiling. Walking through the black tunnel leading to in- side, l looked up at the stars dangling in the rain and wind, and l knew this would be a special night, said Ann Thomas. Mary Hancock added, lt was special having the prom at our school because that's where the rest of the special events of our senior year have taken place. 'll thought the atmos- phere was very romantic, said Gerri Felling, but my favorite part was racking up at the black jack tables. 5fH1'1Zl4 The casino seemed to be a very popular place for stu- dents to escape the fast beat of Phil and the Blanks. While in the casino, students played black jack and won prizes such as banana clips, visors, and games. The thousands of stars were enhanced by the attire ofthe prom goers. Lame'and sequins were most popular with girls while guys seemed to favor tuxes with tails. Tra- ditional taffeta was still seen but even the lace and taffeta were enhanced with rhine- stones. Regardless of attire or atmosphere, everyone agrees what makes prom night is a fun date. Paige Henson said, 'lEven though my date and I were just friends, we just relaxed and had a good time. Many peo- ple went in groups. Ann La- Cour said, My date and l en- joyed going with other couples. lt made ita lot more fun being together. Togetherness was the key to this prom's success. As students danced under the stars, they reflected on the years past and celebrat- ed the closing of a chapter in their lives. Watching the action, Chad Davis, Rachel Gwinn, Dosha Hall, and Kyle Hogue sit in the chairs around the dance floor. On the dance floor. Krissy Boyd and her date listen to the sound of the band.
