On May 23, 1964, the juniors and seniors at Bloom spent an evening “Gone with the Wind.” The school cafeteria, where the dance was held, was filled with the air and easy-goingness of the “Old South.” The students danced from 9 to 12 p.m. to the music of Bobby Christian and his orchestra. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Queen Leannc Pctrarca by last year’s Queen, Melody Inucci. The couples then went on to the post-prom, which was entitled “Twilight at Tara.” Dinner was served at the Tivoli, The Log, Cipriani’s, and Hottinger’s Gardens. Next on the list of activities was dancing at the American Legion Hall in Chicago Heights. Here, the students were serenaded until 5 a.m. by Peter Palmer and his orchestra along with a vocal group.
