1. Kathy Parrish, Christine Loud, Michelle Lamay, Maura Norton, and Tracy Cullen arrived at the South Shore Country Club early dragging so many balloons that their feet rarely touched the ground. Many members of the class helped to decorate the dance area. 3. Sarah Lemos has problems and has to ask John Nee to help her replace a missing bobby pin. The beautiful people must maintain their status. 4. Kerry Eden scolds Kristen O'Brien. Doesn't that make you wonder about what was going between Kristen and Joe Bohmbach? 6. Diane Parry danced so much that she finally fell exhausted into Steve Gardner's lap and couldn't move for an hour, at least that's what she said. 7. Ginny Duggan, Tom Logan, and Diane Parry stake out the center of the dance floor. It seemed like Tom tried to get into every photograph that anyone took. 8. Nicole Manton, Annie Fahey, Ann Scolaro, and Marcy DiStefano share a little ''girl talk. We think they were discussing whose date was the best dancer.

Preparations for the prom began nearly at the start of our junior year. There were many problems to deal with as time moved inexorably toward the spring time prom season. After the decision was made about the location, we dealt with the attempted changes in the contract prices agreed upon. The members of the prom commit- tee worked hard to ready everything from the music to the final decoration of the South Shore Country Club the day of the prom. May 9, 1987. Some members of the committee got to miss school for the umpteenth time, but this was a necessity. How could the coun- try club end up looking the way we wanted it unless we helped out with the decora- tions. The crepe paper and the balloons had to be the correct colors. After all, no one would want to see anything but blue and white decorations. It seemed that everyone said they would help, but when the time came for the labor there were the same old few who actually showed up to work. Mr. Robert Sylvia, the Junior Class ad- visor, worked with us to make the night memorable. He had taken over the duties from Mr. Martin Finnegan and figured they would not interfere with his duties as the advisor to the Senior Class. This may be an advantage for us because he will be our Senior Class advisor as well. We will know what to expect of him and he will know what to expect of us. At the our bittersweet ending to this wonderful night came the realization that some of us would have to stay and help with the clean-up. After such joy and ex- uberance to have to remove the decora- tions and clear the area seemed just too much. Thank goodness for Mr. Sylvia. He just sent us on our merry way saying to forget about the clean-up. WHAT A PROM! t. Cheryl Raila and Donna Pettengill crack up over hav- ing their picture taken. After all they were roaming around looking for dancing partners and trying to avoid their dates. 2. Class sweethearts, Gregg Doten and Marcy DiStefano, look totally awesome. So, what else is new? The two of them managed to get through the entire even- ing without having even one little lover's spat. 3. What can anyone say about Steve Picarski. Rumor has it that he managed controlling the balloon much bet- ter than he does most ball-carriers. 4. Ann Notarangelo, Nancy Powers, David Savage, and Amy Beardsley obviously enjoyed themselves all night long. After tripping her way into the South Shore Country Club. Nancy made it through the rest of the night hardly ever falling down. Amy, on the other hand, was very late arriving at the prom since her limo broke down and near- ly was turned away at the door. 5. Seated at the table from the left are Patricia Thorn- ton, Ronald DiBona, Tammie O'Brien, Billy Hennessey, and Lisa Smith. Tom Mahoney, Debbie Nimeskern, Mike Dillon, Laura Salibe, and Paul Stevens, unfortunately had to stand. 4 ilo y by Michele PjIjkIv, pholot by Cmny Duggan. Ch« yt Ra ». Lincoln Studio and Matf

THIS WAS OUR NIGHT! THE PROM! For so long, we had been anticipating it. Finally, it had arrived. After worrying about getting the tickets, finding a date, figuring out what to wear, and especially how in the world were we ever to get to the South Shore Country Club; the Class of 1987 (more than any other Junior class ever) decided to take a LIMO! After all, it would not have been cool to get a ride from an older sibling or, horror of horrors, from one of our parents. Many different shapes, colors and sizes of limousines paraded before the doors of the South Shore Country Club with hand- some young men and gorgeous young ladies disembarking. As we stepped inside the country club, all our inspirations were realized. The girls' dresses ranged from the flapper style of the 1920's to the romantic hoop skirts of the pre Civil War. Some of the boys departed from the traditional tux- edo to the hip, new Don Johnson Miami Vice look. Dinner was served late, but who could eat? And with all the tight fitting dress bodices and the bow ties, who could breathe? Gradually, we all moved onto the dance floor. The D.J. made everything feel like a stylish nightclub. Ties came off and hair fell out of place as the Class of 1987 grooved to the beat. Finally, around midnight, the theme song, This Is My Night by Chaka Khan began to play. Unlike previous years, where the last song was always a slow song, we wanted to end the night with a bang. The class went crazy to the fast beat. Soon after, as we returned to our limos, we realized that the Class of 1987 is truly heaven. ». 1. Laura Ciulla lost her contacts the morning of the prom and kept apologizing to Walter Sprague. Walter didn’t seem to mind the inconvenience at all. In fact, he seems to be enjoying the situation. 2. Deanna Roche and Kevin Provenzano both look so pretty in pink. She looks so gorgeous and he is so handsome. They are just one example of the extent to which couples went to match each other's outfits. 3. Michele Palardy decided to bring back the look of the roaring twenties , but that instamatic doesn't quite fit in. Gowns of all types were to be seen on and off the dance floor making this a class of individuals, not look-alikes. 4. Kerry Eden and Christine Gosselin show everyone how to really get down and boogie. Their dates needeo to be shown the proper dance steps. 5. Kelly Rogers strikes a classic pose with Steve DiBona. Imagine what she's about to say about the thorn that's penetrating her lower lip. 6 MO»V by Sarah U'cnov photo by Nancy Power». Cheryl Raila. Imcoln Studio and lafl
