Those who chose to acquire the ultimate possible evening were willing to spend hun- dreds of dollars to obtain a night they might remember well into their adulthood. Prom was a lot more fun than I had expected but I would have had a better time ifl had gone mth a dif- ferent person, junior jason Brice said. Attire became another issue at this year's Prom. Though some prom goers chose to follow the tradi- tional prom attire others tried to appear in the most imaginative attire the administration would allow. I decided to wear a bright yellow tuxedo with matching yellow cumber- bun and bow tie to present a unique, eyecatching look, senior Billy Davis said. Prom was not the only event of the evening many, many other late night activities were planned. We went to a party at the Habidad, we didn't stay long though because it broke up soon afterward. , junior Thad Kelley said. Whether having a seven course meal or just a late night snack, promgoers frequented a variety of restaurants before and after Prom. We had a group of 20, so we decided to go some- where a little bit casual, and chose Dan McKlusky's, senior Michael Nelson said. ff
