Prom night was a night to remember. The students anticipated the night long before a definite date had ever been planned. The juniors were espe- cially excited because for many of them, this was their first year of go- ing. The girls rushed around trying to find the perfect dress while the boys puzzled over the perfect date. They knew the night was special and they wanted everything to be just right. The Prom this year was held at Mary Baldwin College. This made the Prom unique from the years be- fore. The juniors decorated the ta- bles with light blue tablecloths and Top right: Annette Ratchford and Scott Mu- sick are pleased with their title of King and Queen of the Prom.

The couples were also given a minature memory book to record the nights activities like the nomination of King and Queen of the Prom. The music by “First Class” was liked by almost everyone. They added to the splen- dor of the night by playing the cur- rent top ten music. After the Prom, the students went their separate ways. Some went to breakfast and others to parties. Even though they knew the night would not last for- ever, they held the memories of “An Island of Paradise” in their minds for weeks to come.

Aroused summer spirit Arousing the summer spirit, the SCA Carnival produced an out- standing result as the students and faculty crowded the booths on the football field. The profits from the SCA Carnal went to the sportsmen club, who donated time and money into the sports at school. Each club that participated in the carnival don- ated fifty percent of their earnings to the sportsmen club. Scott Musick, the SCA president, was well pleased at the outcome of the carnival. In general opinion, he thought it was much better than last year’s. He also added that, he wished it could have been fifth and sixth period but there was still room for improvement. A variety of clubs and classes spon- sored different types of booths. Some of the features were — SCA dunking machine, FHA cake walk, band sponge throw, FFA chicken barbecue, GAA softball throw, key club basketball, and journalism Classes’ stick to your favorite teach- er. Wrought Iron, a live band made up of students, entertained their au- dience with intervals of rock music. Below left: Mr. Maxwell waited for a splash in the dunking machine.
