More than 200 members of the Gulf Breeze High Class of 2007 spent their Project Graduation at Oops Alley in Pace on May 23.

In previous years, colors of cartoon characters were the names of the buses the students rode to the trip on. This year, it was Mexican dances like the Tango, Salsa and Merengue.

The evening's festivites began with a hypnotist, unlike in previous years, where the hypontist ended the Project Grad celebration.

The show always brings out a lot of personality from the participants and a lot of laughs from the audience, with Stephen Miller, Jay Schmitz and Gaby Randall drawing the most applause.

The group spent most of the night bowling. Other fun festivities includes billiards, arcade games (each graduate was given 10 dollars in quarters) and a 'casino,' where grads received a bag of chips to play games like blackjack, Texas Hold Em and Roulette to win various prizes. Grads were also in drawings for some bigger prizes, such as a microwave and a television.

It was also a chance for the young at heart types (aka, us chaperones) to act like youngesters again. For example, yours truly bowled a 184, with a blister on his thumb!
