Dream Is The Theme The Richard Strachan singers present their special version of the Impossible Dream in a serenade to the queen of the prom. Putting soul into his song, a singer entertains promenaders. No longer impossible, the dream-the annual junior-senior prom-came true. The prom was held at Bayfront Park Auditorium May 29. The ballroom, decorated with an array of dreamland colors, was the scene of that traditional festival where underclassmen fete prospective graduates. Linda McCoy was crowned queen of the prom with ten of her classmates as members of the court. The highlight of the affair was the Grand March, when promenading revelers paid homage to a proud queen. Music for the dance was furnished by the Richard Strachan combo, a local unit of musicians.
