Bon Voyage Some of the S.S. Sheridan staff members pose with 2 passengers at the first class bar. The Junior-Senior Prom this year was placed on the deck of the S.S. Sheridan with a Bon Voyage theme. Prom couples were led to their tables by smiling cruise direc- tors. After boarding the ship there were ocean scenes of the Pacific on both sides, one a sunset done entirely in blacklight. There was an elaborate stairway onto the stage with a lighted fountain and flower- ing plants in the center. The oppo- site end of the gym was decorated to look like the front of the ship with a bar where refreshments were served. The dinner included a trip to the salad bar after which a main course of fried shrimp or chicken, baked potato, roll and strawberry shortcake were served. After the meal the class prophecy was given by Cindy Cooperider and the his- tory by Bruce Forgrave. The band for the dance was “Cross Winds.” Many couples enjoyed listening and most of all dancing to the music of Cross Winds. The band for the prom was Cross Winds which featured a female solo vocalist. The Gym was colorfully decorated to look like the first class deck of a modern cruise liner. During the dance Dan Parish and Todd Martin can’t resist dancing to a new song. Through months of planning, work, and preparation the gym is transformed into the deck of a beautiful cruise liner. 22 Prom
