Junior "Prom 1991
inally it’s here. After
countless weeks of un- Jkm easy planning — will I find a date? Will I find the right
dress? Will my tux fit right? How will I ever be able to af­ ford all this?!! The teachers kept telling us that the junior year is the most important year. Now we know that it isn’t because of grades or teacher recommendations, it’s impor­ tant because of the Prom. For most of us, it’s our first big formal event, our invitation to THE social scene of high-school and beyond. The Junior Prom is our time to shine. We’re not quite ready to be out on our
own, but we are old enough to stay out alone all night and be chauffeured around in shiny limousines. We arrived at the dance to find the rest of our
class creating just the right mood. We fast danced, slow danced, and we even did the Electric Slide! The DJ pumped out the hits until the time came for everyone to depart for their various parties and post­ prom events. The night was
just beginning, a night never to be forgotten. It was our first step into mature, adult life. Our parents gave us free ride, "just use your best judgement” was all they said. The Junior Prom was the first real time we got to show our parents whether
or not we’d really make it. We told them we could do it. We promised them we’d do it. We begged them to let us do it. And on May lOth, 1991 the jun­ ior class from CBA had their
Junior Prom and we did it.
