Finally, after hoping for the right date, spending countless hours trudging through the mall looking for the perfect” dress, renting the sophisticated tuxedo and slick black limousine, and buying the corsage, the day was here. Girls enjoyed spending up to three hours taking their time to get ready. Patty Tallerine, junior, said, Getting ready for the prom is where all the excitement begins, and it's fun to take your time doing it.” But what about a guy? Does he find it time-consuming? Mo, not really,” remarked Kurt Sexaur, junior. Getting the top button buttoned on the shirt and buying your girlfriend a corsage are the only things that takes time.” After all the preparations had been made, the doubts began to rise. Was it worth all the fuss and money? Am I going to have a good time with my date? Nancy Licursi, senior, said, I think going with boyfriend is much better than with just a friend. The prom is very romantic and you can't enjoy it to the fullest if you don't have that special someone to share it with.” The day itself was rainy and dismal, the THE ICING ON THE CAKE riot only was It Michele Romanelli's birthday, but also Dr. Kussins wife's. Vinnie Daniels and Mi- chele await the lighting of the candles. THE ROYAL COUPLE It's tradition that the King and queen dance along with the royal court. Darren McMahon and Jan- ine Paccione lead the dance to 'You’re the In- spiration. ' A N C E exact opposite of what everyone dreams their prom day to be. At home before the prom, the traditional taking of pictures was cut short because of the weather, but that only left more time to get psyched for the night ahead. Soon after, the parking lot of the Hun- tingtown Townhouse was jammed with li- mousines of every color. Inside, the dance floor was just as crowded with hundreds of couples getting professional pictures taken. There weren't many complaints about the food, and everyone seemed to really enjoy the band. Rich Migliaccio, senior, said, I was already having a good time dancing and being with friends, but when Michele Romanelli, senior class president, announced I was selected for Prom Court, that really made the prom great.” After the prom, couples flocked to the discos in New York City and Long Island, diners and the quiet settings of the beaches. The prom wasn't just a dance at night, it was a weekend of sharing fun with closest friends. Jennifer Arangio
