Hearts Reign for Valentines Bright formals, brighter hearts, but brightest of all, the smiles of King Phillip Barney and Queen Judy Tunnell announced the approach of Valentine ' s Day. Coronation of the new king and queen took place on February 12, 1968, while finalists, Jean Bobbins and Gene Wilson, Julie Colehour and Bichard Heizer, Cathy Curiae and Steve Putnam, and Sandy Purser and Eddie Hightower, served as the Boyal Court. Deep curtsies marked the presentation of 15 club sweethearts, six cheerleaders, and their escorts to the court. Entertainment for the royal group, who were elected by the entire senior class, was provided by Terry Casburn, Sonny Wynne, and David Tyson. Each of these performers sang two songs with romantic themes, which helped set the mood that lasted throughout the program. Eight couples waltzing to the traditional strains of Charade began the finale of the program. After one dance, the king and queen descended from their thrones to lead the last dance, and the final scene visible was the king and queen framed in the closing folds of the golden curtains. DECORATIONS for the program are prepared by Wayne Williams, Debbie Kahler, Bonnie Reaves, Paula Puckett, and Sue Hart. HEARTS SHINE everywhere during Valentines; center stairs become rendezvous for John Halvorson and Debbie Chambers. m t COURTLY COURTESY is demonstrated by Jean Robbins, adjusting Judy 24
