A little romance Ronda Coleman and Brian Atkins dance to a slow song under the starry night. Later that same nigh t Prom fim con tin ued in to the morning with parties, movies, and hiends or many students, the Prom is the greatest ex- cuse to have curfews tremen- dously extended. And because parents were so reasonably cool, prom goers took advan- tage and parties all night. Many seniors spent post- prom time in Mike Young's bam. From falling doum the popcom-covered stairs to get- ting knocked over inside the porta-potty, seniors continued their prom fun until the early moming hours. As the sun be- gan to rise, couples began to leave so the early moming breakfast parties could be at- tended while others dropped off to sleep in Mike's game room. But the Young's bam wasn't the only place post- prom goers went. To escape the fast pace, many couples resorted to somewhere quiet to watch a movie or just en- joy each other's company. Others attended parties then went home to crash and get ready for the day after. Todd Howren said, I don't remember what time we started the movies. I just remember waking up at five o'clock wondering why l wasn't at home.

Friends and family Todd Jones, Bethany Goff, Ann Thomas, and Jared Jones pose for their parents' snapshots after graduation. Congratulations Mike Carpenter, Board of Trustees secre- tary, hands a diploma to Scott Eichhorn. But, Mrs. Hundley it is flat! It la mortar boardl ,wasn't, but after a spot check by senior sponsors, most were flat with the tassels on the right. The mortar boards, only added to the ex- citment and ner- vousness as soon-to-be grad- uates lined up in the halls of the First Baptist Church. Seniors prac- ticed for bacca- laureate before school was out and then review- ed it all again the morning of grad- uation. But there were just some things that couldn't be prac- ticed. For one thing, just how are those collars supposed to fit on the girls' gowns? And there was the problem of sleeves hanging on the railings as students walked solemnly dovm the stairs. Despite the minor inconve- niences of heat and hats and sleeves, every- thing seemed to go off without a hitch. That is. until the very last graduate re- ceived his diplo- ma and headed dovsm the wrong row to another section of seats. About midway down the row, Mike Young re- membered his practice instruc- tions and re- tumed to sit with the other sen- iors. I 40 Student Llfe ' Page Sponsor: The Dive 51 74 Summerhill
