A poll given in junior and senior homerooms indicated that the upperclassmen wanted something different, and so changes occurred, the largest of which was moving the prom to a new location.

Playing on the Treasure Island theme, seashells. bubbling fountains of punch, finger food, and a large pirate handmade by junior Millard Draudt adorned the regal setting. A band that alternated playing with a DJ entertained everyone as they danced with their dates and friends.

The favors (bottles with scrolls in them) took the most time since there was little decorating to do. ' junior Barbie Stevenson explained.
