Many people enjoyed double dating with friends at the Prom. Marc Bish¬ op, Claudia Cox, Johnny Robertson, and Donna Burgess enjoy dancing to¬ gether at the Prom after going out to eat. Amberstone provided a good variety of music for the Mystical Kingdom. The lead singer leads the group in its version of “On the Wings of Love.” Decisions, Decisions . . . Making all those important decisions for prom kept students occupied for weeks. That was what Prom was il about, making decisions, ’’le decisions ranged from ' bat will be the theme, how ' ill the gym be decorated, ' hat band will play at Prom to ' ho will I take, what will I ' ear, where will we go to eat, ihd what will we do after i om? These decisions and lany more were what ' ought about the magical i ght of May 5,1984. The theme chosen was Mystical Kingdom”. With e help of this theme, Ms. An- Jrson, Ms. Myers, the junior ass, and others the gym was ansformed into a mystical kingdom. The decorations consisted of many mystical and magical things. The walls of the gym were decorated with paint¬ ings of a unicorn head, mush¬ rooms and flowers, and a man’s head. There were gnomes and mushrooms lo¬ cated around the gym and flowers placed on the tables. The centerpiece was a bridge over water with gnomes placed around the bridge and a large unicorn was at the be¬ ginning of the bridge. These decorations made people feel like they were in a different world as they entered the gym. The next decision to be made was to pick the best and most affordable band. The band chosen was Amber- stone. There were other important decisions that were being made that did not deal with the decorations, the theme, or the band. These decisions were more personal ones such as, who will be my date? After getting a date to Prom came the decision of what to wear. Then, of course, after these decisions were made couples had to decide where they would go to eat and what they would do after Prom. Once all these questions had been answered it was time for the Prom! Everything was perfect now. The decorations were in place, the band was on stage, the couples were dressed and ready to go. All of these things made Saturday night. May 5, 1984 a perfect and exciting night. After all of the deci¬ sions had been made and after the couples had attended the Prom it was time to put every¬ thing away and to store it all in memories. Prom
