A One Night Stand When you go to a dance do you ever stop and think about all of the time that is put into getting things ready and in perfect shape for you? Do you ever think that all of this work is just for one night, or rather just for five hours at the most? Proms are the number one example of long hours and hard work for just a one night stand. This year’s prom was no exception. The junior class of 1982 planned on putting on one of the best Proms in the school's history for the entire student body. They ordered all of the decorations, raised money to pay for everything, and got all the little details ready for the big night way before anybody even knew about it. The top of the gondola building was chosen as the site for the Prom. Everything was starting to look up. Then disaster struck! The weather was not going to cooperate with the class' plans. Frantic people could be seen running up and down the halls trying to find an alternate spot. How about the gym? Are you kidding! Nobody would want to come and besides, how are you going to decorate the big ugly thing? Through the help of a lot of people, the class stopped their fighting and sat down to think out a new decorating plan for the big ugly thing. First on the agenda, was thinking of a way to hide the bleachers so it didn't look so big and to get rid of the gym look. The class thought of sheets. That's right sheets. I 10 sheets were dyed the colors of the rainbow and sewn together to hang from the ceiling to the floor and block off the bleachers. Putting together the floral arrangements and the hundred or so fern baskets was no easy chore. Neither was putting up the wall decorations and suspending the parachutes from the ceiling. Finally after twenty hours of hard work, the gym was ready and the band was set for the arrival of the guests at nine o’clock. It turned out to be one of the best Proms ever put on. but all that hard work is just a memory, because it was torn down and cleaned up the next day. 22 Prom
