A Night In Camelot
By ADAM LEMARR
On Saturday, April 19th, the 1986 Albe
marle Senior High School prom was held.
The night started at 8:00 p.m. and ended at
12:00 a.m.
As always, the Juniors were in charge of
taking on the task of renovating the gym
into the theme, which this year was
“Camelot”. Mrs. Burleson led the group of
twenty-five Juniors and Sophomores. With
a “Knight-in-shining-armour”, shields,
and a number of other medieval decora
tions, the gym was turned into a fifteenth
Century castle.
When the guests arrived at the prom
they were greeted at the door and had the
choice of strawberry punch, vegetables
and dip, and finger sandwiches to choose
from. These delights were provided by
caring mothers of the prom committee.
Next came the dancing. This proved to
be different than in recent years. Instead
of a live band, a D.J. was hired to provide
the music. “Cap’n Sam” cranked up a
variety of hits that everyone could enjoy.
According to Michael Snyder, “I ®
night life, I love to boogie, so I really had
an unforgettable time.”
The night seemed to end almost as soon
as it had started. The last song was played
and everyone had to leave one of the best
times they had had in a while. Some called
it a night, while others were just getting

started. Either way, everyone agreed that
it was the best prom the school has had m a
long time.
Around 10:00 o’clock, the Prom King and
Queen were announced by Mr. Morgan.
Janna Efird, Traci Hatley, Margaret
Morgan, Tammy Page, and Sarah Thomas
were nominated for Prom Queen. Roge
Brafford, Efird Cato, Brad Childress,
Mike Furr, and Mike Hogan were the
nominees for Prom King. Brad Childress
and Tammy Page were selected as “King
and Queen”. Tammy and Brad led the
court, which consisted of the remainiing
eight nominees, in a dance.
