Stairway to the Stars On May 21, 1983, the tradition of a Junior-Senior Prom began. This event had been anticipated by many since they started high school. Getting a date with that special so¬ meone, dressing up in a tuxedo or gown, and dinner at a classy restaurant were all part of the pre-prom ritual. The class of ’84 worked diligently to raise the funds in order to have the prom at the Sheraton Inn. The hard work was paid off with smiling faces and happy memories. The “Daylighters” was the band chosen by the class of ’84. The band played a variety of music which seemed to please everyone. The theme was “Stairway to the Stars.” Students and faculty felt that nothing could compare to the excitement of the first prom. The prom theme was “Stairway to the Stars. Tony Thomas and Margaret Fullem were one of the many starry-eyed couples who went to Potomac ' s first prom. When students weren’t dancing, they were seen socializing with their friends. This was the last big high school event for the seniors, next to graduation. Nancy Barber and Rob Cameresi danced to the music of the Daylighters. The music was diversified and drew a large crowd to the dance floor. Allison Stewart and Marisa de los Santos stole a moment away from the prom in order to show off their beautiful gowns. Each and every girl was at her loveliest. A lot of students went to parties or breakfast after the prom, like Robert Zacharias and Lisa Hayes who went to breakfast at Dave Snyder’s. 0j Student Life
