Night to Remember Everyone looked so extraordinary as they walked through the front doors of the high school that cool April evening. Many of the girls had had their hair and make-up professionally done for that special night. Tracy Martin, junior, said, I wanted to look really good for that one night and I figured it would be worth the money to have someone else do my hair. The banquet area was filled with a mixture of excitement and anticipation as everyone waited for the black curtain to be removed exposing the dance floor. Junior class president. Chuck Martin, welcomed the senior class, and senior class president, Chris Thixton, made an acceptance speech. The dinner began after a prayer given by Rev. Sam Hinkle. Yearbook advisor and English teacher, Mrs. Campbell, said, I thought the food was extra nice this year and the prom cake looked just beautiful. Finally, at 8:00, everyone started jammin to the beat of Bad Penny . Tracy Grubb, senior, said, I thought the band was excellent and the banquet was really nice. Kris Nolte, senior, said, I really loved the band. They ' re guys after my own taste. (Wild and Crazy) At 10:15 , Angle Young and Wayne Jackson were crowned prom king and queen. Angle Young, senior, said, I was so excited that Wayne and I both received a crown. That was one night I will not soon forget. Lori Wolfe, senior, summed it all up by saying, The juniors really surprised me with their decorations. I was impressed. Prom ' 88 was definitely a night to remember.

Fantasies come to life memories stay forever In actuality, prom began much earlier than Friday, April 22, at 6:30. The junior class, under the direction of Sponsor, Ron Gillman, and President, Chuck Martin, began working to raise money long before school began in September. With their first job of setting up, working, and cleaning up Jubilee Days in June, the juniors were regarded as having done the best job in several years. Some other similar projects in- cluded: Heritage Days, and the BPW Craft Show. In October, they earned well over 1,000 dollars by selling magazines. With the colors red, black, and white, and the theme ' Into the Night ' , the juniors began Wed- nesday, April twentieth, to transform the idea of ' Prom 1988-lnto the Night ' into a reality. Banquet, designed by representative, f ichelle Wallace, included a streamer-lined ceiling, a helium-filled-balloon-lined walkway, and a single red-tipped carnation on each table. The menu consisted of roast beef, corn, broc- coli with cheese sauce, rolls, ice tea, and a cus- tom designed prom cake. The dance area, un- der the direction of Vice-President Heather Lynch and Secretary-Treasurer Gina Findley, was transformed into the excitement of a city night. The band. Bad Penny-back to WHS for a second time-was set on risers in front of the stage. The stage provided a luminescent atmos- phere in the background, with eight-foot skyscrapers, an eight-foot balloon arch, and three chic silhouettes behind King Wayne Jackson, and Queen Angle Young. Crowning took place at second break with Heather Perry as Mistress of Ceremonies, Heather Lynch crowning the Royal couple, and Hope Hardman, Lance Ramsey, Lori Wolfe, and Jamie Lux as at- tendants. The juniors ' idea of Prom ' 88 was to be as uni- que as possible, and anyone who attended could see the difference from past proms in things such as the regularly run crowning and Michelle McGhee ' s picture backdrop which in- cluded three framed city nights murals, and Mr. Gillman ' s ' 66 candy-apple red Mustang.
