Senior Prom

This past Saturday marked the RHAM High School Senior Prom. The prom, held at Mystic Marriot in Groton, CT, was a large success.

The venue, chosen only days after the classes Junior Prom last year, lived up to expectations. Although the trip to Groton was quite the hike, the room did not cease to impress. Compared to last years hall, a banquet facility called Menelee's, the room was so much larger. The high vaulted ceilings and chandeliers definitely lent itself to the majestic atmosphere that can only mean one thing: prom night.

This year's theme was "Arabian Nights". In order to accomplish this theme, the prom organizers set up mood lighting on the walls of the room in order to give the room an Arabian influence. According to prom committee chair Libby Fiumara, the senior class was supposed to receive genie lamps to be used as centerpieces for each table. However, apparently the centerpieces were on back order and therefore did not arrive in time for the May 22nd event. This was particularly frustrating especially since the prom committee ordered the lamps months ago.
Also adding to the "Arabian Nights" atmosphere, Senior Alon Cohen built and painted a back drop portraying the Taj Mahal that was used for pictures in a room off to the side of the main hall.

Surprisingly, the DJ played 4 or 5 slow songs compared to the ONE that was played at the class's Junior Prom last year.

Students seemed to enjoy this years prom and the night will surely go down as a night they will never forget.
