As the clock struck the tenth hour, everyone at the Prom grew quiet with anxiety as they awaited the crowning of the Queen. Bob Schmidt, Junior Class President and Master of Ceremonies, took over the “mike” and announced the Juniors’ choice for their Prom Queen, Miss Doris Laudick. The Queen and her escort, Calvin Doyle ascended the throne in a maze of applause. Joan Mollaun, Hostess, presented the Queen with a dozen red roses, a token of esteem from the Juniors. The Queen was crowned by School Superintendent, H. F. Schulte, after which she was joined on the throne by her court, Miss Virginia Becker and Miss Marian Hahn. After the crowning the King and Queen danced alone to the strains of “Stardust” played in their honor.

PROM IN HAWAII On the night of May 25, 1950, a happy throng of young people, both the young in years and in spirit, clambored from the deck of the Luxury Liner, “Queen For a Night” to spend a delightful evening on the shores of Kiholo Bay. The theme of the Prom, “dancing under the stars in Hawaii”, was very effectively executed with the presence of palm trees, orchids by the score, the sunset on Kiholo Bay, hula dancers, and the gorgeous Hawaiian sky filled with glittering, dancing, silver stars —stars rivaled by the twinkling candles on flower decorated tables. Eddie Roe’s Orchestra, of Connersville, furnished sweet music for smooth dancing. The orchestra was situated on a lovely flower decked veranda made even more attractive by the presence of the lovely vocalist. In the west, over the bay, the pink glow of the setting sun silhouetted two great mountains while the silhouette of a dancing hula girl was visable in the east before the rising moon. The program of entertainment included vocalists and dancing and acrobatic acts by four entertainers. The sisters of the seniors, dresser in various colored grass skirts with halters that bared one shoulder, and flower adorned ankles and wrists were the servers. Then, at that magic hour of midnight, confetti and serpentine leis were provided to all the guests. A hullaballo of confusion and shouts of good wishes filled the air. Soon thereafter, the guests bade a fond farewell to the beautiful Hawaiian island and slowly, reminiscently climbed aboard the “Queen For A Night” to return home after a delightful evening of magical fantasy, an evening that was to last in the memories of the guests forever!
