Cameras flashed as Marion high school students promenaded April 13 before their friends and family, giving them a chance to show off their gowns, suits, and tuxedos.

The event started promptly at 6 p.m. in front of Eastmoor United Methodist Church, with dinner following. The banquet hall was cool, protecting those in attendance from the hot wind blowing outside. Each student sat in wonderment as they looked around the elegantly decorated room, lit by icicle lights, before enjoying the rest of the prom activities.
