outhern belles and beaus, dancing under softly dimmed lights to the romantic tunes of a band, may sound like a scene out of Gone With the Wind. However, the magical fantasy became a reality for some students April 27. The Junior Class transformed the San Angelo Convention Center into a southern night for those who attended the Junior-Senior Prom. The depiction of a southern mansion might have led one to believe that Texas Gold was perform- ing on the front steps of Tara from Gone With the Wind. A front door and five windows, along with 17-foot columns, gave the illusion of a southern mansion. Greenery, flowering plants, and a flowing water fountain added to the atmosphere of the Southern plantation. The effects were enough that Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler themselves might have felt right at home llll As Principal Skip Casey announced the prom court, the theme Southern Nights was further displayed with many of the belle-nominees dressed in full- hooped skirts. Liz Neslage was honored with the title of Senior Belle while Zane Hoppe was crowned Senior Beau. In the queen's court, duchesses named were Lorena Galvan, Susan Pack, Teena Roberts, Laura Fry, and Jill Vick. The prom was a super success, said Mrs. Patsy Maddux, co-sponsor. She praised the efforts of the officers, as well as their parents, who devoted much time to the annual event. Maybe it wasnit Tara out of the famous movie but students got the feeling of . . . those Southern Nights. l Patty Doerr 18 Junior-Senior Prom CHEERS! - Juniors Lorena Galvan, George Trevmo and Letty Deanda sample the punch while attending the prom festivities.

Student council and cheerleader elec- tions, parties, and banquets symbolized spring activity. It became evident that school was finally winding down. In April, new cheerleaders for the 1984-85 year were chosen. The assembly, where a total of 22 people at- tempted to gain spots on the spirited squad, made a change in tradition. Since Central's opening, junior varsity cheerleaders were selected by three classes. However, Principal Skip Casey felt that JV cheerleaders should be chosen by their respective classes in the fall of each new school year, thus, the change was made. s Q Student council elections marked the top response from students during the en- tire year. ln comparison voter turnout was rather low in other elections. However, in the spring election, voting almost tripled. Parties and banquets were prevalent as school activities became victims of summeritis. Athletic, musical, and varied departmental organizations celebrated the end of school with dinners and parties while several students felt the urge to throw private bashes. Also, some seniors participated in the unofficial skip day by traveling to Six Flags in Dallas. Basically, having fun meant that sum- mer was fastly approaching. l Jerry Daniel 4 4 9 5, s fs I AM SOMEBODY - Newly elected presi- HUGS OF VICTORY - Newly elected cheerleaders express joy after they were announced dent Alma Allen gives a moving speech dur- winners. ing student council elections. 20 Spring Events
