Prom Celebrated with Camo Theme
By: Rachel Linden
This year’s theme for Litchfield Prom 2018 was Camo. The Jun-
iors and Seniors ate supper at the Litchfield Steakhouse and were
served by the sophomores. Then they all ventured to the old gym at the
school. The Junior class had the gym decorated to go with the camo
theme. There was a photographer available to take pictures of couples
and the classes. Next was the parade of formals, where everyone got a
chance to show off their fancy attire. Finally came time to see who won
king and queen. The honor was awarded to Delaney LeFever and Jacob
Swearingen. The dance started with a royalty dance between Jacob and
Delaney. Everyone danced until almost midnight and then it was time to
change clothes, get on a bus, and go to the Big Apple in Kearney for the
after prom party hosted by the Litchfield Booster Club. The kids got to
go bowling, play laser tag and eat pizza. They arrived home around 4:30
A.M., exhausted and ready for some sleep. Everyone had an awesome
time!■
