April snowers While Juniors prepared for the prom, rumors filtered throughout the senior wing that the prom would not become the affair it had been in past years. With limited funds from poor magazine sales, the decorations were minimal. However, the class constructed a wishing well and a tunnel that suited the springtime mood of the prom. The Juniors also rented a mirror ball for added lighting effects. Though the class lacked full support, those that helped worked both hard and diligent. During the dance, twenty couples paraded around the gym in the traditional ‘‘Senior Figure” This year’s figure was to the tune of ‘‘Pieces of April’, as it was also the theme of the prom. As the evening progressed and couples grew tired of the loud music of ‘““Grandeurs,”’ the crowd began to taper. However, many seniors did not return home. To top off the night, festivities and parties elsewhere continued well into the morning hours. Taking arest, Amy Lucore finds a comfortable seat near Mark Makowski. Away from the music, Bev Goyne, Mike Anderson, and Kenny Glidewell gather for refreshments and conversation. Finding the atmosphere just right, Kevin Greene whispers sweet-nothings in Lorie Wyttenbach’s ear. PROM 17
