Dreams Turn To Reality On the Edge of a Dream was this year’s theme for the Junior-Senior Prom. The dance, which is sponsored by the junior class each year, was held at the Elks Lodge on May 7, 1988. This year, Coach Davis presented Miss VHS and her court with their dates in a spotlight dance. An addition to this year’s Prom was the election of a Prom King and Queen. The second runners up were Ashley Moorman and Stephanie Culverhouse. Also, the first runners up were Andy Anderson and Nanci Nichols. And this year’s Prom King and Queen were Ber- nard Hitson and Erica Miller. The freshmen student council mem- bers dressed up in 1950 styles to go along with this year’s theme, “On the Edge of a Dream.” These student council members served refreshments to the tired couples who were exhaust- ed from dancing to the continous hits of Glow. The King and Queen of the Prom, Bernard Hitson and Erica Miller, smile about their new honor. Nominee’s for Prom Queen are Melanie Meeks, Tracy Lees, Stephanie Gupton, Stephanie Culver- house, Melanie Dennard, Margaret-Ann Sineath, Erica Miller, and Nanci Nichols. Student Council members Jason Brigdes, Ebony Robinson. Keri Kirby, and Marilyn Moss decorate for the Junior-Senior Prom. 28 Student Life

Party At Mickey’s Place Once again the world’s largest graduation celebration was at Mickey’s Place — Walt Disney World. On May 20 most graduating seniors were eagerly anticipating their arrival at Grad Nite ’88, an all-night party hosted by Mickey and Minnie Mouse. The first destination for the gradu- ates was the Blast-Off-Party in Tomor- rowland. For the first two hours most seniors received their free meal and photograph and took advantage of the short lines at Space Mountain. At 9:00 P.M. the rest of the park was opened and the bands began to play. Concerts were performed all night by entertainers such as Run D.M.C., Ex- pose’, Michael Bolton, Force MD’s, and Club Nouveau. At around 5:00 A.M. the all-night celebration began to decline and sen- iors took their last look at Grad Nite '88. However, the traditional Winnie the Pooh T-shirt and Mickey Mouse ears remind each graduate of the party of the year—at Mickey’s Place. Seniors Laura Downing, Jenny Moody, Lauree Moore, Ricky Rogers, Janiece Evans and Mackey Foster wait to board a Grad Nite bus in the student parking lot on Friday afternoon. Grad Nite coordinator Ms. Beverly Smith goes over specific details with one of the busdrivers before they head for Walt Disney World. Seniors. Marllois Owens and Pablo Campa, get ready to take off to Space Mountain. 30 Student Life
