30 rr Bouquetde Fleurs” blossomed despite chilly temperatures for the 1970 Prom. Juniors overcame a lack of funds to create a realistic garden complete with wrought iron chairs, white picket fence and miniature fountain. Tissue paper flowers in tiny clay pots adorned the yellow and green covered tables. A surprisingly large crowd of over 300 students and guests awaited the crowning of prom queen and king at 10:45. Keith Kahl and Karen Hortyk were voted by the senior class to reign over the festivities. Sunday found most prom-goers at the Dunes. Others invaded Turkey Run, the Shades, Starved Rock, or Brookfield Zoo. All arrived at school Monday sun¬ burned, sleepy, and broke.
