Getting her fingernails manicured, senior Lisa Wells finds that prom preparation is a lot more time con- suming than she had expected. iPhoto by staffb .ld KNOW IT INSIDE OUT THE From renting dillos to limos and expensive inside STORY hotel reserva- tions, Prom at the Stouffer Hotel proved an out of the ordinary event. 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

W Seniors lead the student body in conjuring up creative decorations, activities for a one-of-a-kind homecoming Like none other From asking for trouble by stealing road signs to decorating the commons and having a little 'harmless fun,' those who involved themselves in the home- coming activities tried to outdo the sen- ior class before them. l really didn't know what to expect for homecoming. I heard it was a big deal because my older brother went here, but I was really surprised,' freshman Be- thany Bradfield said. Most freshman had heard rumors about homecoming at Westlake, but new students showed confusion as to what was going on in the commons on the morning of October 31. 'I went to a high school in California, and our homecoming was nothing com- pared to the homecoming here. I couldn't believe the commons when I walked in to school,' junior Jeff Martin said. Homecoming not only surprised the new students, but even the old ones as well. Everyone waited in anticipation to see what the seniors had come up with that year. In California, we weren't allowed to decorate in 'our' style--one that's uniquely student--just as we were here. Next year I hope we can outdo decorating the com- mons, but I don't know anyone who'll want to donate their motor- cycle to hang. junior I Todd Nichol THE UNREAL THING. Examining the latest imitation of the burning W , sophomore Otis Pousson developed his own opinion as to whether fire or steel should reign. iPhoto by A. J. 8.
