Excitement was the first reaction the juniors had toward prom, but it soon turned to frustration. This transpired because of the desire to equal the high quality of proms in the past. Prom preparations were in full swing about a month before. With feelings of anticipation and dread, the juniors held their breath during the enchanted night. Now they look forward to next year's prom where they'll be the guests of honor. Although the year brought varying moods and problems, the juniors met these challenges head on. They strived to do their very best, temporarily hindered by their mistakes, but determined to prove that they could do it together. 13
