Debbie Sprague and Kristi Beahler, both 86, hang stars in heaven. Its hard to believe weire in HEAVEN 1 Brian Adams summed up the theme of the 1985 Prom in one of his recent smash singles, ttHeavenll. The theme was carried out well in the decorations. Walls were studded with stars, and clouds floated from the ceiling. Purple and silver streamers dangled, while a fog machine made the air misty, creating the impression of being in heaven. . This trip to heaven, however, didnt come about by someone waving a magic wand. Juniors spent a year of planning and working to get it all together. ttThis yearls prom was very organized? commented Stacey An- derson l86. uWe have all put a lot of time and work into this promfl stated Dianne Miller ,86. ttA lot of people have helped instead of just a few. We,ve had a lot of fun planning and decorating. Lane Parks l86 thought Hthis yearls prom was a big success? On this point, Stacey Strasser 86 agreed. ttI think prom was a success because everything had been well planned out, and it seemed like so many people attended? As May 4 drew nearer, planning became very serious work. Nights and weekends were reserved for making decorations, reserving the band and the room, electing the prom servers and getting the food planned. Having a helpful team of faculty sponsors made the job much easier for the students. Miss Linda Whit- ford, Mrs. Teresa Kent, Mr. Tom Lewis and Miss Dixie Landers all pitched in to make the prom that much better. Juniors werenlt the only people who did any planning. Everyone who went to the prom had to make several decisions. Each boy had to place orders for renting a tuxedo, make reservations for dinner and order the perfect corsage or nosegay. His date had to decide on an approbriate'dress and order a boutonniere. There was just one last decision to be made - To go to A.P.E. or not to go? After Prom Extravaganza made this year's prom different from all the other Savannah proms. According to Whitford, ttSome parents of juniors and seniors at SHS got together and sponsored A.P.E. at MWSCX, According to Kent, ttThe purpose of A.P.E. was to give students somewhere to go after prom. All in all, this prom added up to a good bit of money, but it all proved to be worth the price when prom goers stepped through the pearly gates at Ramada Inn and spent a night in HEAVEN!! - Amy Schwich- tenberg

But, probably, the most special is the day when the life of a senior takes on a new phase and changes - the day of graduation. On May 19 at 2 p.m., the graduating seniors walked down to perform their pomp and circum- stances ceremony. Many tears, secrets, hopes, dreams, ambitions and laughs were all bundled inside of each and every smiling face. According to Mr. R. C. Ramsey, principal, 167 proud students turned in their caps and gowns along with their occupation as a high school student in exchange for their future lifetime occupations. Elizabeth Freudenthal, senior speaker, talked on the subject of tiThe Times of Our Lives, while Mr. Mark Mayfield addressed the seniors with a speech entitled, iiDo You Thinkiw Ramsey went on to say that the class of 185 his a strong academic class and has ability to think.
