WE HAD SO many photos of this year's prom, "The Royal Masquerade," that we're running them in installments. Here's our second audio slideshow — enjoy!
Prom '08 was held at the Alice Campbell Alumni Center in Urbana from 8:30 to 11:45 p.m. Saturday, May 17. In all, 119 students attended, of whom about 40 percent came wearing masks in the spirit of the theme, according to junior class president Isaac Chambers. An iPod Touch drawing was held for those who wore a mask; junior Teddy Zamora-Mills was the lucky winner.
Royalty consisted of seniors Isaac Radnitzer and Eunice How, king and queen, and juniors Russell Prochaska and Sheri Grill, prince and princess.
This year's event was notable for several prom firsts. Thanks to Chambers, RSVPs were done online instead of through the mail, saving at least $150 in postage. In addition, two students catered prom — juniors Hannah Leskosky and Maddy Levin, who did so for their independent study on cookery.
There was no organized post-prom this year, but students managed to make do, and it was a busy, fun, and all-too-short night for Uni prom goers.

prom
when will all the other prom pictures be posted?....these are really interesting
thanks to the gargoyle for offering us all a way to experience prom
Thanks
According to Lizzy Warner, who has been in charge of our prom coverage throughout the spring, we have enough photos for two more slideshows. Lizzy, Anna Gooler, and Rachel Skoza spent today editing many of the photos. We hope to publish the remaining slideshows this weekend. There's still a bit more work that needs to be done, so I can't be more specific than that. Thanks again.
UPDATE: Because of the three-day weekend, I don't think the next slideshow will be up until Tuesday.
SECOND UPDATE: Finals week seems to be causing a delay in wrapping up our slideshows. In the meantime, a huge number of professional photos are now available online:
