Favors included pastel flower vases and his and her champagne glasses. Many people worked hard to make this Prom a great one. Heading committees were: Janet Bauer, decorations. Rose Matulis, bids and favors, Karen Keltner, Publicity and Court, Casey Fitzgerald, Tickets and Invitations. The anticipation of the night climaxed at 11:00 p.m. as Janet Bauer and Danny Bouchee were crowned 1978 Prom Queen and King by last year ' s couple Kim Queen and Steve Hepburn. Prom was held on Friday, May 12 so that prom goers would have a day of recovery on Sunday before school Monday.
