Last minute fix-ups or steady dates, everyone combined under the same roof to dance all night at the junior-senior prom. NIGHT IN HEAVEN r 3 It was the Tuesday before the prom and I was sitting in my bed- room doing my Grammar Comp. assignment, when all of a sudden I saw a bright, golden light in the corner of my room. I rubbed my eyes to see if I was dreaming, which I wasn ' t — and standing there was my fairy god- mother. She spoke to me with her soft voice and blessed me with a beautiful Prom Dress, shoes and diamond jewelry. I guess she knew about the expenses of Prom. While I was admiring my new prom attire, she vanished out of sight, leaving me without the most important thing for Sophomore Missy Miller and Andy Marsh, senior, take a break for refresh- ments. Prom — a date. So the search was on for the perfect prom date to go with my perfect dress. Luckily, I met Prince Charming on my way to the grocery store. Now I had everything necessary for the prom. This year, the Junior-Senior Prom was held in the Carolina Room above the Village Bowl in Muncie. Couples spent A Night in Heaven dancing to the music of The Works. Midway through the Prom, Amy McCoy, senior was crowned 1984 Prom Queen. Her court consisted of Seniors Lydia Butts, Angie Mansker, and Cheyneen Carpenter and Junior Pam Fullenwider. After the prom, the After- Prom was held downstairs in the bowling alley. Students danced to the music of Electric Dance Company, while watching se- lected videos on the big screen. Also, the students played free video games and bowled. After a tough game, everyone could get free cokes and pizzas. The festivities ended about 4:00 a.m. and almost everyone headed home, or went out for breakfast. When I got home, I walked to my room to catch some ZZZZZ ' s. Once again, my fairy godmother appeared with a curious grin on her face. She wanted to know all about the prom and the night I spent with Prince Charming. Prom Court: Cheyneen Carpenter, Lydia Butts, Pam Fullenwider, Angie Mansker and Queen Amy McCoy.

If getting in if a car in a formal isn ' t it ' s the number of to do it. Finally it was dinnertime. But- terfields is a common restau- rant for the prom, which we found out when we were seated in a room with 15 other couples. After dinner, we made our way to the Carolina Room. The best part is seeing everyone dressed up. It ' s amazing what a tux or a dress can do to some- body. It had been an exhausting night and we called it to a halt about 7:00 a.m. Being with someone special was the best thing, making it truly A Night in Heaven, and it ' s something I will never forget.

As the year drew to a close and we rejoiced the coming of the last day of school, the gradu- ating class of 1984 reminisced the memorable times we shared with our friends during high school. Who can forget the senior car, driven by Robbie Godwin, that was part of the homecoming parade, and of course Amy Ham- mersley, alias Super Chicken, who appeared at the Hagers- town football game? On the last day of school, May 11, the excitement was over- whelming as the seniors raced out to the parking lot to get in on the shaving cream and water bal- loon fight. Then really getting strange looks from people when you drove through town with shaving cream from head to toe. Things like this are times that will It ' s the last of high school dances, games and hot romances for all the seniors in Yorktown. Now it ' s time to move up to the big time. ENIORS FINISH OFF THE YEAR always be remembered. May 18 marked a new begin- ning for the class of 1984. The commencement ceremony con- cluded the seniors ' high school experiences. Commencement was held in Emens Auditorium with 187 students graduating. Valedictorians were Susan Gan- ion and Lisa Ferg. Salutatorians were Scott Brassart and Steph- anie Lawrence. The traditional green robes for the boys and the white robes for the girls were worn. The National Honor Society and Quill and Scroll members wore cords this year rather than different col- ored robes like last year. The choirs combined to sing and the senior chior members traditionally sang Alma Matre. The seniors in the choir include Co-valedictorian Susan Ganion re ceivcs her diploma from School Board ml President Earl Dunn. - Mandy Stout, Cathy Owens, Bret Cook, Carol Cooper, Robin Davis, Shelli Timmons, Doug Ful- lenwider, Teresa Mills, Andy Marsh, Colleen Coulon, Dean Ja- derston, Becky Southerland, Denise Replogle, Ruth Hender- son, Amy Goodpaster, Debbie Snodgrass and Merae Daniel. As each of the seniors look back on all those close friend- ships and special relationships he realizes that these years are going to be hard to top. Maybe five years from now everyone will look back at each one of the years we spent in high school and say that those four years were the best times in our lives.

' Twas the Night Before Seniors Left ' 10 Graduation No matter how hard a secret is tried to be kept at Y.H.S., at least 25 inter- ested people find out. That must have been why the doors to the school were unlocked at 11:00 p.m. Not too many seniors can say that they were home sleeping on May 10, because nearly all the class was at the school, toilet pa- pering trees and bushes and putting crepe paper on anything that did not walk away. Some of the things done were placing various signs throughout the school and putting up an 84 flag in front of the school. The highlight of the evening was when all the frosh lockers were wired shut. This made it impossi- ble for them to be opened.
