Date: May 22
Place: Edinborough Park
Cost: $25.00 per couple
Band: The Max
Overview: Prom was on a Friday; Senior skip day; Memorial Weekend. Lame. For Memorial Weekend; Sorry. (That’s okay, the weather was nasty anyways). Edinborough Park was the perfect setting for a Prom. It was just beautiful. The Band, The Max, played all right, but a DJ. would have been much more appropriate. The weather was depressing, especially if outdoor plans were made for the evening. For the Seniors that actually blew $10.00 on the Senior breakfast, (what fools we are) I’m sure the day had a perfect start. And so much time was left for last minute preparations for Prom. Not! But hey, the punch was good, right? Well worth the $25.00, if you ask me!
The small group of Mini-Schoolers that attended Prom were sought out & questioned. The two questions asked were 1) what did you do for Prom & 2) what’s the approximate time you spent at the dance & 3) did you have fun?
Results:
Stacy Vetvick & Mike Davis, Jessica Ryan & date Ken Brink & friends. Went to Sunsets for dinner & cruised around in a limo. Stayed at the dance for about 45 min. No hotel. Had fun? “Yes.”
