On April 10th, 2010, ZHS Juniors, Seniors, and others took part in a highly successful prom which produced several surprises along the way.

Many took advantage of the Masquerade Ball theme and sported elaborate masks, while others like Kristina Murphy, just enjoyed the night being with significant others and friends. Some attendees
arrived early, like Greyson Stovall.

Greyson wore a black and gold boa which he said was “in honor of the Saints”. He told Hoofprints that he was excited about the success
of the Saints this past season and wanted to pay tribute to them. When asked about his chances for being Prom King, Greyson excitedly remarked, “Oh, I definitely have a good chance.” Stovall later that night was crowned Prom King along with Rebecca
Blair, who was crowned ZHS Prom Queen.

One of the major surprises was Miss Samantha Johnson’s engagement to her boyfriend. He surprised her by flying down from New York City for prom. Eric took the stage and proposed.

Many girls were elated that the engagement took place at their prom and serves as a memory for all who attended, especially Miss Johnson. Guys, on the other hand, seemed a little disheartened that she is now off the market!

The real star of the show that night was Mrs. Bradley. She was often seen running around and taking care of every detail along with the help of Mrs. Aguilliard and Mrs. Buccere. She told us that the biggest challenge was decorating the entire venue in three hours. Mrs. Bradley also added that the prom committee's workday during school helped greatly in contributing to the success of the prom. Other things that aided in the success of prom were supportive vendors and faculty that came to chaperone and help in any way possible.

Hoofprints would like to thank the art department, faculty,
and administration that made April 10th, 2010 a night to remember.
