“ Wonderland Fantasy” offers everlasting memories “So she followed him through a keyhole and then ...” Just as Alice found herself amidst a “Wonderland Fantasy”, so did those who attended the 1967 Junior — Senior Prom. Upon entering the giant keyhole, couples were greeted by an atmosphere of fantasy and delight. A brilliant background was provided by the use of multi- colored flowers which transformed the cafeteria into an ‘enchanted forest’. Some couples swayed rhythmically to the sounds of the Vito Manno Orchestra, while others, seated at tables adorned with flo wers, enjoyed the atmosphere and refreshments. Majestically accepting the honor as the new Prom King and Queen, Tony Paglis and Anita Bodley performed their first royal duty by circling the dance floor and leading the Grand March. As the enchanting evening drew to a close, couples slowly drifted away leaving only remnants of the “Wonderland.” With them forever, they took the magic that only memories can possess. Amidst a scene of butterflies and roses. Queen Anita, radiantly beaming, watches as King Tony signs her bid, a remembrance of the memorable evening following their crowning.
