Prom was really great! The band was really good and it made the Prom a lot of fun. Mike Hall Two For The Show O pening night, April 27, 1985. The stars of this production were members of the Class of ' 85 and the Class of ' 86. As honored couples arrived at the entrance of the lobby, they re¬ ceived passes allowing them to enjoy a cinematic extravaganza. Work for this Prom had begun in September, 1984 when the Junior class officers had a brainstorm and decided upon a theme. Their early visions became a pleasing re¬ ality when the actual production began in early April, 1985. Once guests entered the lobby on that long-awaited evening, they found themselves surrounded by well-known scenes from famous movies; the most popular set was the beach scene next to the entrance which involved mounds of sand and an actual white sportscar. The dreamlike quality of that special night was completed with life-sized posters of Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, and The Duke, John Wayne, placed beside the band, Power Play. Adding the final touch, Levette Hale, Leslie Woolwine, and Beth Askew check to make sure the decorations are intact. Dancing cheek to cheek, Steve McCourt and Les¬ lie Worrell enjoy a dance to the tune Penny Lover . 12 Student Life

It gave me an insight on the Class of ' 85. — Chris Stafford Saving the Best for Last A tear could be seen here and there, and many broad smiles could not be suppressed as Mr. Dewey Wilson pronounced the Class of 1985 to be graduates of Pulaski County High School. For many Seniors, it was difficult to believe that June 2nd had truly arrived. The day had seemed so distant when their special year had begun in August. Most had fo und that being a Senior really did have rewards: leaving for lunch five minutes early or marching into pep rallies while the other classes stood and clapped. Many Seniors did get a preview of their big day when Mr. Edmonds, Jenkins representative, mea¬ sured each one for his cap and gown. Most would never forget the first time they placed the mortarboard and tassel on their heads and looked into the mir¬ ror. At 8:00 p.m. the Seniors had begun to march into the gymnasium to the tradi¬ tional Pomp and Circumstance. Their heads were held high as they were seat¬ ed. Chip Sparks, Senior Class President welcomed everyone, and Valedictori¬ ans, Joseph Guthrie, Allison Howerton, and Anthony Minter gave their speech¬ es. Tina Smith and Margaret Weaver also spoke sharing experiences and hopes for the future with their fellow graduates. In a last show of appreciation, the Senior class gave Mr. Elmer Huff, Assis¬ tant Principal, a standing ovation. It was one of the last things which they would do together as a class. Looking ahead, they saw varied futures, but the year they had shared would always be theirs to cherish and remember. Graduates felt happiness as they prepared to re¬ ceive their diplomas.
