Typical ew Orleans scene is re-created for 1976 Prom New Orleans had many riverboats in the 1860's and the junior class decid- ed to create a typical riverfront scene for the 1976 prom. Since it was the Bicentennial year, a theme concerning America's past was considered appro- priate. Many juniors worked long and hard to come up with the desired result. Stu- dents went around the Titusville area scrounging for materials, such as wood, iron railings, paint, and workers. ldea meetings began in February, but actual construction on the Nat- chez Riverboat did not begin until April. When completed, the river scene consisted ofa 40-foot, three story river- boat with a turning paddlewheel, a dock surrounded by water, and three stores. Black lighting highlighted the effects of all these buildings. At midnight, Dennis Lavery and Lori Harrison were crowned king and queen of the 1976 Prom. Couples danced to the music of Les James at the Prom and to Mirkwood at the After Prom Party. Between dances, ninth grade girls served punch to the guests at their tables. Couples were free to walk aboard the boat, go into the stores, or go out for a stroll around the block. There were sandwiches and soup at the After Prom Party. Afterward, the film Night of the Living Dead was shown: some couples danced or played ping-pong: and William Logan, art teacher, drew caricatures of prom- goers. ,J X W C iii' 2341: fi' ' ix' it U ,t . , , ,X , -Q , M, itil me ly .N l it l ,ie i W tq iii E l l . . l 1 ..-:,,.,,,,,, y ply? wants ' i I l ' Y in ! 11 av 5 ..- -, 6 ,,.... - n- fl l V at it 0 in ' ' J' wail. i l 4 will X , Dressed in a typical Confederate uniform.
