fTlDDNLlGHT HND RD5E5 by Candance West Abour twenty yeots ago Prom was the highlight of the school year, the icing on the proverbial coke before graduation. Prom was a time of romance when old flames and new acquaintances could enjoy one lost evening of moonlight and roses. In the years since the sixties, Prom has lost much of its mystique and become just another dance in the high school cafeteria, but this year the Prom Committee decided to rediscover the romance of days gone by. Becky Skiles headed the committee that planned the evening and transformed the Commons into a land of enchant- ment. With the help of many Stu- dent Council and faculty members, the Prom Committee created a real old fashioned prom. From the soft lights and dreamy music to the last dance and the pressed corsage in the memory books, this year ' s Prom was an evening to remember, 1.
