II Prom festivities ltotally' impress Val Gals by Julie Herrington and Nancy Mohler Like blow my mind! Prom was like totally exciting. I had like the most awesome time getting ready for it. I went to this tubular mall to get some cosmic clothes to wear. They had some of the most freaky clothes you ever saw. I tried on one dress that was just grody to the max, like totally K-Mart. It was real lacy with gag me ruffles, and get this - it was a real mellow light blue. Gag me with a spoon! I was ready to split that grody joint when I saw a totally tubular dress. Like fry my mind to the max! Psychadelic orange and cosmic green - just what I was looking for! The sequined spaghetti straps showed off my tubular tan. I was really psyched for prom, and I was even lucky enough to find the ultimate shoes. They were a bright yellow with bows. How lucky could I get? I had one of the most tubular nights of my life. Tex's Drive-In catered our prom. I thought for sure we would be pigging out on hamburgers and French fries, but fry my mind to the max! We actually had little fish eggs on crackers. It was so cool. After we chowed down, we got to jam to the tunes of the awesome Plain Jane. The dance floor was really sparkly and cosmic. There was even some fog floating around. Our gym had never looked better. Like I'm sure I'II never forget it. Blow my mind! Like I must be dreaming, It's Just a Fantasy. PROM f ACTIVITIES f 447

These four words, once spoken by Dr. Nlarfin LuTher King, Jr.. began one of The mosT well-known and forceful speeches ever wriTTen, BUT They also began much more Than ThaT. They Tell of every individual's hopes and goals in life. They began The sTruggle of achieve- menf ThaT each of us has underTaken indi- vidually and as a class. By combining our class sTrengThs wiTh The enTire school, we have seen so many dreams become realiTies during These lasT four years. We wanTed To be sTaTe cham- pions so we Tried a liTTle harder and puT forTh a lilsfle more sweaT To place us in The finals, This Time we had The experience and The deTerminaTion ThaT comes from losing on our side. We wenT away from The fooTball field The Kansas 3A sTaTe fooT- ball champions of 4981. We also became The 3A sTaTe baskeTball champions. Then There's The girls' baskefball Team. ThaT dream came True when we earned The TiTle of Girls' Class 3A sTafe champions. And each Time we played, iT was The en- Tire school, even The whole communify who won because everyone played a pari. TogeTher we were a Team ThaT had someThing To be proud of. Academically, Silver Lake High School has had a repuTaTion of conTaining de- manding classes and inTelligenT people, The school should be proud of This. buT The records are individual records: Thus, indi- vidual accomplishmenTs grow even high- er. All of Thse communal and individual ac- complishmenTs could have very easily re- mained dreams in our minds and hearls. buf insTead of iusT dreaming and leTTing Them fade, we applied acTion To earn whaT we wanTed To To make The dreams inTo realiTies. Each of our dreams are really a challenge To ourselves, a challenge To face and overcome so we can say we were successful. Because isn'T ThaT whaT success is - To make info a realiiy The dreams of living life in your own way? Therefore, we have graduaTed from This lasT challenge To many more we have To face in The adulf world. GRADUATIONfACTlVlTlESf 'I 419
