The king and queen of the 1987 prom: Tom Vicars and Jackie Lucas. The coronation ceremony was one of the highlights of prom. A night of enchantment More Than Just A Moment Small groups of girls filled the halls with their chatter. Boys made note of how much the big event was go- ing to cost them. Dates were made. Dresses and accesso- ries were carefully chosen. Tuxes were rented. Din- ner reserva- tions were made. Flow- ers were or- dered. Final- ly it arrived. It was Prom Night. Those in attendance gathered in an elegant balloon-filled ballroom at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods college after enjoying a sumptuous dinner. Fan- fare provided an atmo- sphere which found many couples gently swaying to the beat. The coronation ceremony brought candidates anxious- ly awaiting the crowning. Honors were bestowed upon Jackie Lucas and Tom Vicars as queen and king re- spectively. The evening was really just beginning as the prom came to an end. Junior class par- ents greeted promgoers at the high school at 1:00 a.m. An Indy 500 theme was cho- sen for the post-prom festiv- ities. For those who still had energy to burn, Turkey Run State Park offered a place to get away on Sunday af- ternoon. Many chose to go with the flow and rent canoes. Others could be found ex- ploring the trails. Just for a Moment , the theme of the 1987 prom, was an event that would be remembered for years to come. Mitzi Lewis Prom was an expe- rience; never have I seen so many Prince Charmings and Cinder- ella look-alikes gath- ered in one room. Walt Disney would have been proud. Kristi Boardman A long line forms as students wait for their pictures to be taken. Pho- tographs would keep the memories of prom alive.

Nine days of freedom Breaking loose Lying on a beach with the sun shining down on you, and the roar of the waves echoing softly was consid- ered an ideal vacation. Some stu- dents however, weren't as for- tunate and didn't make it to the sunny beaches of Florida, or South Carolina. This didn't stop some from getting that desired tan. They found tan- ning at the salons gave them an appearance of spending a week in Florida. Working, sleeping until twelve, or catching up on the soaps were the lifestyles some students fell back into during Spring Break. Other students did man- age to make it out of state. The French department took a group of 26 students, and spent the week in Mon- treal and Quebec, Canada.

Even if it was going to Indy to shop, or a weekend in Chi- cago, it enabled students the chance to relax and enjoy their Spring Break.
