A Three couples pause to discuss their plans for the rest of the night beside the lighthouse, which reflected last year's theme, Sail On. ■ Gazing into each other's eyes, these three couples reflect the special feelings one ex- periences on the evening of the Prom. ▼ Standing at the foot of the bridge, Lisa Baker and Bob Schloss, seniors, look forward to a night of fun and romance. Bon Voyage! It's 6:00 p.m. and the doorbell rings. He's here! Mother yells up the airs. A 17-year-old girl smoothes her ress, takes a deep breath.and then trns to begin her evening. The occa- on? The 1982 Junior-Senior Prom. As teenage couples made their way ito formats or even their Sunday est, many thought ahead of how the ening would turn out for them. The 3uth Side Prom is a special event for any. But for one couple, this prom ight was a little different. Lisa arter and her date, Larry Cavender, miors, were awarded a free prom ight with everything paid for, in- uding a limousine and a diamond 3cklace. The contest was put on by a cal radio station. I was at the library when some friends told me they heard it on the radio. I thought they were joking! South students danced, chatted, and enjoyed themselves to the music of the Sunrise Band in the IU-PU Ballroom. But after the Prom had ended the evening was far from over. The After-Prom was held at The Lantern, where everyone romanced in a more casual atmosphere. As the night dwindled away, many sleepy-eyed teenagers reluctantly made their way home again. Unpinn- ing the now-wilted corsages, the girls crawled into bed to dream about the past romance-filled hours of a perfect evening.

A Dynamic Evening The day of the show arrives. You didn't get much sleep the night before. There is just too much excite- ment. The day drags on endlessly. All your time is spent either watching the clock or doing anything to keep your mind off of the show. You wait for six-thirty, when you can gather all of your costumes together and go to school. The time has arrived. The auditorium is filling with parents and friends. You nervously wait backstage, arranging and rearranging your clothes so they're just right. You're standing in the wings of the stage. The lights dim. The music begins. The theme is from Fame. Your turn. The spotlight is one. 'The show begins. The show you asks? An Evening With, by Mr. Robert Kelly and his speech team. The 1982 performance of An Even- ing With was a hard one to top because of the outstanding speech team it contained and the dynamic performance it gave. The practices for the show began in November during speech classes and ended the day before the show. The week before performance night is the hardest, commented a cast member. Practices started after school, and continued until late in the evening. Each one with his own lines to memorize was pushing to give it his best when the curtain opened. Despite the long, grueling hours of practice, and the contemplating of its worth, at times, the loud, clear sound of a standing ovation and the laughter throughout the show, should be a reminder to the members of the cast and to Kelly that the audience was more than happy to have spent an evening with them. ▼ Heather Krandell, and Roberta Toy, seniors, sing sincerely to the crowd how wonderful it is to be sisters.
