I-Iammering Away Building the prom is an adventure undertaken by every junior class. The class of '87 was no exception. Starting early in '86, the planning stages took long hours. Then the building began. Rocks had to be paper mached, trees had to be painted, and a bridge had to be built. Unfortunately, that was only the beginning. Blue and sil- ver plastic paper covered the walls around the tables. The dance floor walls boasted blue and white star pa- per with big white clouds portraying the theme Stairway to Heaven. White trees were decorated with white Christmas lights, and gossamer was placed around the base of the trees. Candles were on the table in small glass bowls with blue water. Directly over the bridge was an ice sculpture, and there was a fountain in the back of the room. When it was time to go home ju- niors were proud of their accomplish- ments. by Lesley Stedman White trees and lights were one of the most impressive parts of the prom. Juniors Andrea Rollins and Lori Stradtner find out that they were also one of the most tedious tasks. Juniors Jamie Wilson and Ginny Arends hang up the stars above what will eventually be the concession stand by the entry way. -Q Prom 27
