Juniors Pull Together to Make . . . Picture this: A gray, rainy morning, approxi- mately 8:15 a.m., ten juniors sluggisly await the arrival of the other half of the decorating committee. At 6:45, a good seventy-five per cent of the committee are ready to begin. First come the centerpieces . . . out to the van in the rain . .. “Don’t get the flowers wet!” “Okay, set the tables with glasses, fans, can- dles and napkins.” “MEMORY BOOKS, over 400 memory books need to have the tassles attached!” “Okay, everybody work together and we’ll get them done.” “Wow! It’s 7:30 a.m. and all the tables are ready. Won’t Miss Spector eat her shorts?” Miss Spector arrives at 8:30 a.m. to observe twenty kids “on break”. Then begin the trips to fast food places for breakfast. The eating con- tinues throughout the morning as lanterns are strung and murals are placed in the highest reaches of the Ramada Grand Ballroom. At high noon the backdrop for the pictures is being constructed with chainsaws and ham- mers. “Okay, mix the wallpaper paste.” “Paste ready!” “What? NO BRUSH?” “Someone, run home quickly to get a wallpaper brush before the paste dries!” By 2:00 p.m. the backdrop is ready. The sculptor artist is in the kitchen chiseling away at an ice block to create an “85” to float in King Kong’s martini. “Where’s the cake?” “You mean that thing with real goldfish swimming in the bottom of it?” “Oh, they are in a bowl!” Late afternoon — “Someone throw away those doughnut boxes! Tables set, food’s here, lobby’s decorated. Is someone gonna be here to meet the servers?” “’’Right.” “And Bristol Sounds?” “Right again.” Picture this: A gray, rainy afternoon, the Ramada Inn’s Grand Ballroom dressed in the beautiful “Romance of the Orient,” just wait- ing to come alive with the excitement and laughter of hundreds of teenagers. 7T £ x % (P Prom — 25
