unions began preparing for the prom as soon as the fall semester began when they sold magazine subscriptions to raise money for the prom. In fact, they had a candy sale as sophomores in order to get a head start. Once the spring semester began, juniors met with prom sponsors, Paula Mitte and J ' Nil Wuensche, to make plans for the chosen theme of Desert Moon. After-school work sessions were held to begin creating pyramids, palm trees and wall murals of silver and blue. As the prom date drew closer, the prom committee worked harder and longer. On the day of the dance, those students who had worked all semester on the committee, along with Mrs. Mitte and Mrs. Laurie Bauer, were ex- cused from classes to prepare the Vic- toria Community Center. Little by little, the atmosphere was changed, and by 5:30 p.m. the center was transformed to reflect the Desert Moon. All the work was worth it, said Stephanie Collins. It looked great! Working on decorations can be messy, but Lisa Martinez doesn ' t mind. Prom Preparation 33
