Oviedo Generating May 7, after third period, all seniors were dismissed from school, but the time that lay ahead had been carefully planned out by many. Tuxedo pickups, hair appoint- ments and makeup ap- pointments were just a few of the preparations for an evening at the Galleria's Westin Oaks Hotel in Houston. John Bissonnette. the guest of Kelly Yarbrough, said. After I missed my flight from Austin because the tux I had rented was not ready. I had to wait for Kelly who was driving through Friday five o'clock Houston traffic.

Limos and sports cars were rented by many, but many just got to the affair in their own cars. An optional expense was dinner. “Even the catered food was good. We didn't eat out; we ate at the Prom.” said Melody Watson. It was really neat to see everyone all together at one time all dressed up.
