Paris has a reputation for its stunning beauty in the spring, and the junior class at Dexter High School has worked diligently all spring to recreate a touch of Paris for this year's Prom.

Junior class members were busy all day Friday in transforming the auditorium, lobby and gymnasium for Saturday night's prom. A replica of the famous icons of Paris - the Arc du Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower - now rest in the auditorium. A garden gateway leads visitors into the gymnasium, where another lit Eiffel Tower graces the center.

The Grand March for 2011 prom will begin at 7:30 p.m. Saturday evening, and couples will be introduced to parents and friends. The dance will continue until 11:30 p.m. in the gymnasium.

A Project Prom party is being held after the dance at First Baptist Church in Dexter.
