After the Prom A weekend dream Preparations for sun bathing are complex as Heather Rash folds her shorts, Sherry Cummings tries to rid herself of sand gnats, Laura Bell shakes sand from her purse, Bart Carter checks the tunes, and Kelley O’Connor adjusts her camera. “We’d been looking forward to it all year,” said Rolfe Martin. He was referring to the tradition of going to Edisto Beach after the prom. Groups of friends rented beach houses and con- dos months in advance for the weekend of April 6. Juniors and seniors cut school Friday to move into their houses and get some sun before the big night. After the prom, dates went home to change, grabbed their duffel bags and headed for Edisto Beach. Everyone was at the beach by 2:00 a.m. Friends sat up talking about the prom and planned activities for the next two days. Many never made it to bed Friday night. Students were up by 7:00 Saturday morning ready to bask in the sun. The partying had begun and didn’t quit until Sunday afternoon. Saturday night friends wan- dered from house to house to socialize, snack and dance. Sunday was spent cleaning up the house and packing. Jen- nie Padgett and friends were so tired they had to hire a maid to clean their house. Students left the beach sun- burned and tired, but as Heather Rash put it, “It was filled with excitement.’’ Tired from playing volleyball, Garrett Carter rests for awhile. 20 Prom

Pigging Out Everybody does it occasionally Terry Harvey lends her helping hand, making it much easier for Ter- ry Jones to pig out. Everybody pigged out at one time or another because it was fun. Holidays were the perfect time for pigging out, but the most popular time was when one was bored. Terri Goff said, “I pig out every weekend at Burger King.” Other popular places to pig out were McDon- ald’s and Pizza Hut, but the most popular place was at home. Whether one was watch- ing T.V., listening to the radio, or talking on the phone, food was nearby. Even though the lunchroom was not the best place for lunch, hundreds of students ate there, without seeming to mind the lack of variety. Most stu- dents ate hamburgers and french fries everyday. Other students chose the long order or a salad. Vanessa Aiken said, ‘‘My favorite pig out food would be . . . a whopper with cheese.” Other favorite pig out foods were pizza, Big Macs, french fries, and Doritos. No matter what students ate, pigging out was definitely an important part of our lives. 22 Eating Habits
