Camelot Upon passing through the towering arch, students attending the 1969 Spring Dance were transformed into transient members of the age of gallantry and pageantry. The theme of this year's dance, Camelot, was carried out through the use of banners, shields, crowns, and even a draw bridge surrounded by a moat. The exotic moods that are connected with King Arthur's time were created once again through tne music provided by The Apple. The beautifully decorated gym was illuminated by the soft flames of candles as the romantic atmosphere overtook the room and completed to the utmost degree the feelings of warm associations and fond memories. Lovely decorations accentuate the theme of the dance. Pages assisting in the Coronation. A wonderful way to captivate these beautiful memories. 20
