Fr a A night for a sense mea Cd ELE PELE GSES AV STNOS and Prince Charming SOOO LOO entral couples entered the doors and became engulf- ed by ocean walls in a ‘“‘Night of Fantasea’’. As May 17th slowly rolled around, guys and gals began preparing for the one night a year when she can feel like Cinderella and he like Prince Charming. A lot of preparation, however, goes into the time span of seven or eight hours, and problems always spring up at the last minute. ‘My tux didn’t fit and my mom had to redo it,” was Bart Kinneman’s terrible fate, with many following suit by having car troubles, getting in car accidents the night before, not being able to dine out because of a sporting event, or even forgetting to buy a slip. When plans finally get ironed out, the night begins. Parents start snapping photos at a smile a minute, and those minutes turn to hours. Some have to rush to make dinner reservations. The car pulled up in front of Central. The excitement mounted as he opened her door, and she ran to the canopy to escape the rain. He took her arm and entered the doors. He slipped their ticket to a slave, and they walked to take still another picture, but this time they stood surrounded by bright colored fish and beautiful plants. It wasn’t until they walked under the archway of balloons that the ‘‘Night of Fan- tasea’’ came to life. When the couples walked on to the dance floor, their feet glided with the sounds of a live band, “This End Up’. “The band was really good. It added a more romantic touch than the record machines,”’ Anne Holdeman positively expressed. As people started pulling down decorations, the ball was over and Cinderella ran to catch the carriage. F OR MANY COUPLES, the romance starts as the slow dance begins.
