The Junior Touch Gives Class to Prom The social highlight of each school year is without a doubt the JumorSemor Prom, and this spring was no exception to the school’s strong tradition of merry making. Largely through the efforts of chairpersons Kim Parker and Tracy Thomas, artistic director Kris Ennis, and advisor Mr Dan Donovan, the junior class managed to make the May 8 dance a success To heighten the theme ' A Touch of Class, the ritzy decor brought a bit of Manhattan to the high school with single red roses, skylines, a gym transformed into Central Park, and a large cafe in the lobby. Trying to come up with class inspired decorations was a major task, it took creativity and real dedication, recalled Mr. Donovan Earlier in the year the junior class began raising the funds needed to finance the prom by launching a magazine drive. With the sale of ticketsto the dance. $4500 was raised. $3000 of which was spent to produce the junior-sponsored affair Both Mr Donovan and the committee chairpersons cited initial difficulties with junior class apathy We had a lot of trouble getting people to work in the beginning, but the few students who did come were really devoted It was a shame though that they were the same people who always participate in school projects. said Kim. However, Tracy Thomas added. The last day people showed up and it really came together We worked hard and cooperated; there were not many conflicts. Several juniors had a lot of doubts about the dance but were really pleased with how it turned out. The band White Lightning provided fast paced entertainment for all the couples that took to the dance floor. All in all the juniors capped senior memories with a bit of finesse, and certainly a touch of class Prom 29
