An important moment at any prom is the crowning of the king and queen. Here a crowd gathers on the dance floor waiting for that exciting moment. NANI O ' HAWAII A dream of an enchanted evening in Hawaii became a reality when the class of ’55 presented their prom, “Nani O’ Hawaii . Beautiful flowers, Hawaiian standards of roy¬ alty, a pretty hula girl, and leis combined with soft lights and music created a true Hawaiian atmosphere. Mary Jo Claussen and Vernon Campbell were crowned king and queen of the prom before leading the grand march. A midnight supper and an entertaining floor show were last on the program. Lincolnshire Country Club provided the set¬ ting for this lovely prom. A lot of hard work and even a few tears went into all the many plans needed to create such an enjoyable eve¬ ning, which will long be remembered. Bob Held, junior class president, crowned Mary Jo Claussen and Vernon Campbell, king and queen, of “Nani O’ Hawaii.”
