Where’s the Fire?
Seniors Attend Prom Aboard
An Antique Fire Truck

According to Lasso Online’s weekly poll, the majority of the attendees of last weekend’s junior/senior prom at the Clarendon Ballroom seemed to have arrived by limo (62%), metro (13%), and car (19%). According to this same poll, a few students (4%) arrived by “other” transportation. The six seniors pictured here certainly arrived in an unusual “other” as they rode in style in an old, blazing red, fire truck. A teacher and owner of the massive 1978 fire truck provided the unusual transportation, complete with a driver in both the front and the back. He rewarded senior Alina Kaye for her achievement in her Emergency Medical Technician class at the Arlington Career Center by taking her and five friends to prom in the truck. The ride may have not been smooth, nor fast, as its maximum speed is about 57 miles per hour, but it certainly turned many heads. Alina Kaye and Natalie Intermaggio sit on top of the ladder with seniors Xavier Alarcon, Anna Duning, Jimmy Piscopo and Ryan Larcamp below.     5-22-07
