A step toward perfection. Jeff Bailey and Erik Traynor work hard Friday from 8:00 am — 7:00 pm hanging stars, clouds and the romantic moon to make Midnight Rendezvous come alive. By A. Frost and A. Gallihugh Maxfield's was the site of the Junior Senior banquet, a switch from the tra- ditional gymnasium setting. At first a few seniors did not like the idea because they'd have to pay for their own meal unlike past years, but after a lot of talk and juniors agreeing to pay two dollars of each senior's meal, the seniors were quite cooperat- ive. I liked it because you didn't have to worry about the mess, said Michelle Carr. It was classier and you looked forward to it. The prom was still held in the high school gym, but this year it was differ- ent. Instead of the traditional rainbows and pastels, the gym was covered with dark blues and purples, which was very appropriate with the theme be- ing, Midnight Rendezvous. The gym was set up like a midnight stroll in a park, with balloon trees and park benches. For others the prom meant hun- dreds of dollars spent for only a few hours of fun and romance. Was it really worth it? All those long beautiful dresses bought for just one night and then left in the closet to collect dust, or the tux rented for a few hours of plea- sure, or all the time and work spent decorating the gym, doing hair and bathing. I spent around $340 dollars. I felt it Paying the price for a 22 jProm f3an(fuet

wild weekend adventure popular dance taken from the movie Purple Rain. But the biggest event of Vestaburg history happened on March 21st. The Hawaiian Video brought 345 stu- dents from area schools. I really enjoyed seeing the music and meeting new people, said Chad Sanders, who helped organize the event. Okay. What else do people do? PIZZA! This word, famous throughout the nation proved a hot dish on a Friday night. Not a weekend went by when there wasn't anyone going out for piz- za. But can you take a date? Of course, what better than a table for two with the candlelight reflecting off the pep- peroni? So you're still not satisfied. You want to take somebody on a date but she's a vegetarian with a sprained ankle. You can't get pizza. You can't go dancing. Why not see a movie? Many movies were shown during the past year. People looking for ad- venture waited patiently for Rambo to come to Alma or Mt. Pleasant. If you just wanted a laugh you might have stopped in to see Police Academy II. Or maybe you went to see the romance in First Love. You did have one last choice. You could stay home all weekend. Naaaaah. Get a little closer. As cool cat Cal Callison slows down the beat and turns down the lights. Junior Frankie Allen and his girlfriend Sheila Arntz from Montabella decide to get romantic. Student -Jife 2

So this is prom?! Experiencing their first prom, Arne Winther, Frank Allen and Steve Kolenda talked about how they arrived at the prom. Frank and Steve drove, but Arne's date, Kathy Keeler picked him up. Pass the French please, darling. After breaking the banquet tradition and having the meal at Max- fields, Steven Woodrow and date Leanne Ander- son anxiously await to see who will begin eating the salad first. How I admire you ... Enjoying the essence of the twilight at Midnight Rendezvous , Ken Gamwell and date Ann Musial from Montabella glisten as they look into each other's eyes. I'd like an 11X14 please! Waiting for the end of the evening to avoid wide eyed stares, Tammy Johnston and date Mark Beach from Central Mont- calm pay for their prom pictures taken by Dick's studio. was worth it because it was my senior prom and it's one of the best times of your life, said Karen King. After a few hours at the prom, cou- ples decided to go show off their glam- our elsewhere or sneak off somewhere quiet with that special someone. Ithaca dances, midnight movies, and out to eat were special places couples snuck off to. We left the prom to go to the mid- night movies with some other cou- ples, said Trudy Beach. I spent a lot of money on my tux and so I went to Ithaca dance to show it off, said Gary Keyes. At 11:30 the only two people left were our punch servers playing vol- leyball with the balloons, said teacher Mark Stevens. I was disappointed be- cause a lot of time and money was spent on the prom and people left ear- ly. Kinda like we threw this big party and no one stuck around. great time vlBRATo MTEUTfOT I VIVACE TORNADO 5HEITER (Mir fbno 2fit Student jCife 23
