Girls in pretty dresses and boys in dashing tuxes crowded into to Wiggins High School’s junior high gym on April 17, 2010, to spend a romantic evening at the 2010 Junior/Senior Prom.

                Prom royalty for the girls included Julia Hollis, Kelsey Malone, Mariela Mendez, and Kayla Iiams. Royalty for the boys included Dillon McCombs, Kohl Knutson, Kyser Baessler, and Tyler Davis. Tyler Davis was crowned king and Mariela Mendez was crowned queen.

                Some couples that stuck out were Kayla Iiams and her date Pete Springer. Kayla wore a short, lime green dress with black Converse shoes and lime green shoe laces. Pete wore a lime green vest and matching Converse shoes. Also, Mariela Mendez and Logan Trautwein wore Mariachi outfits, which are decorative outfits worn in Mexican cultures. Mariela wore a very gorgeous pink and white dress that flared out, making her look like a princess.

                The junior class did an excellent job of turning the old smelly gym into an elegant dance for the juniors and seniors. Sixteen columns surrounded the gym with black gossamer and a lovely water fountain in the middle of the floor. Blue lights shown through the columns to create the theme, “After Glow.”

                The DJ, DJ Jones, tried his best to get everyone off of their butts and onto their feet and dancing. Mostly country and slow songs were played but in the end, everyone had a great time.

                After the dance, the juniors and seniors were given gifts. The boys received travel mugs and the girls received candles. All together, the dance was well put together.

                After Prom was a jungle theme put on by the junior parents in the Event Center. A bucking bull, sumo wrestling, and jousting were the major activities available at After Prom, along with some smaller games such as Guitar Hero, ping pong, Twister, and poker.
