WHAT A SUPRISE! For the majority of the class of 1984, our junior prom was our first prom. It was so special because it was the night that we had been looking forward to for months and one that would be held in our memories forever. On this night we were truly special. It’s not often that you see a class of 1984, especially the guys, in this type of garb. It’s amazing how we all made the transformation to long gowns and tuxedos, with class. Needless to say we looked terrific! Getting to the prom was a task in itself — Where is the Coachman anyway?’’ — The directions weren’t clear and finding Tiverton in the rain wasn’t easy. A special thanks to all those we asked for assistance along the way, because we all eventually arrived. There was, however, enough rain to dampen anyone’s spirits but once inside the Cinderella Room we were with our Queen Beth Voyer with her court: Joanne Axile, Kristen friends and all unpleasantries were forgotten — “‘our Kulaga and their escorts. night’’ was underway. Even having our pictures taken with wet hair was not that bad if you took it all in the spirit of fun. Until the food was served most of the girls could be found in the ladies’ room touching up already perfect hair and faces. The guys ... well, they looked very uncomfortable in suits in which they’d once thought you'd never catch them. ‘‘Come on guys, loosen up!!’ When dinner was served the atmosphere lightened and it seemed more like the SHS cafeteria than a classy restaurant — except the food tasted better here because chicken and prime rib are seldom found on the school menu. East Coast Connection finally started to play and they sounded even better than we had thought they would after all. No one was too thrilled with them after our school dance, if you remember. However they surprised us by playing all of our favorites and likewise the guys surprised us by dancing so well. Almost every- one danced and the night seemed to be a terrific suc- . CeSS. : YY. ™ When the time came to pick our “‘queen,’’ we de- 7 ; ene rs o ar cided the only fair way would be to have the waiters and The nicest things happenin) Love's Baya waitresses vote while we danced to our theme song, All : of My Love. Beth Voyer was then crowned queen while Kris Kulaga and Joanne Axile were honored as mem- bers of her court. The night came to a close — a sad ending yet a new beginning. As we picked up our favors, each of us said a special thanks to Mrs. Woodhams and Mrs. Keough. Without the help of our diligent advisors, our prom wouldn’t have been possible. We left with the feeling that we had accomplished something because we had acted like mature adults and surprised everyone, even ourselves. | The manager of the Coachman showed his apprecia- tion to our class for acting so mature by writing a letter to our advisors. Could this be the same class who » Sta almost lost their prom? We had changed — at least for a ¥ he ee 8S ee ae that night — and adulthood was just on the horizon.
