K bress, Dine, Dance, nd A Little Romance It was coming. That long awaited moment, you finally realized it was really going to happen, your dreams would be realities. You take your date’s hand and exchange glances with smiles of anticipation as the two of you escort each other up the stairs. You can’t help but think what was not long ago months off is now only seconds away. You reach the top of the stairs, turn a cor¬ ner and it hits you — it ' s here and so are you and now you’re about to become a pan of it. Nothing can quite compare to the excitement you are experiencing from the Junior-Senior Prom of 1979- There are several contributing fac¬ tors: the dressiness, the expensive dinner before, and the fact that all your good friends are here together with you. Foremost in your mind, how¬ ever, is your date, for that is the special person who will make the whole evening memorable. Surprisingly, the band Friends of the Family” adds a refreshing touch, breaking up the monot¬ ony of all those nameless discos heard every other week in the year. The music grabs you like a disease and it makes you want to move along with all the flashing lights. So the two of you dance and dance, faster and faster, harder and harder, but not tiring. Just as the excitement peaks, just as everyone starts dancing, just when everyone is ready for more, they announced the last song, a slow one. So you hold each other for all you are worth, but all too soon the song is over. Many faces are covered with smiles as is yours, still you wonder if anyone else has the same sinking feeling that you have inside — if anyone else has noticed that the music has ended. You think so, but regardless you know that it was special and it will stay with you forever. Student Life P
