Every spring, high school students experience an annual tradition, their senior prom. Dressed up in tuxes and long gowns, nervous adolescents awkwardly dance and socialize with each other in a decorated gymnasium. Of course, our college doesn't have a prom, but in 2001, someone decided we should have one. This college-wide event was held in the College Center gym and was complete with music, refreshments and beautifully-dressed couples. Many of the staff from the Learning Resource Center attended the event and people were encouraged to drag out their old prom pictures for a contest. I thought you might enjoy seeing some of the pics as well as some taken that night.
Former Health Dean Pat Porterfield wore the classic "cats-eye" eyeglasses.
Former reference librarian Betty Warren's date was a dashing military man. Everyone loves a man in uniform!
Librarian Lori Nash's date was going for the leisure suit look.
Former librarian Lisa Shirey's date went with the traditional white tux.
Librarian Katren Krietemeyer and her date. She looks the same today!
Librarian Theresa Flett looks like a movie star! Her date looks like a young Tom Hanks.
Margaret O'Dea attended her prom with big hair.
Computer technician Kate Mikulin looks a little nervous to me.
Talk about nervous. Here I am with my prom date, my high school sweetheart, Madeline Kline.
Betty Warren still looks good in our updated prom photo.
I didn't know this couple but they were getting in the spirit of things!
Dance experts Stan and Linda were of course in attendance.
Former librarian Fran Stumpf's husband Ken was pretty stylish in his emerald green shirt and yellow tux.
I'm not sure how it happened, but Lisa Shirey and I were chosen Queen and King of the prom.
