“beneath the mystic sea” captures spring Leading the traditional Grand March are left to right: Randy Ferguson, Toni Clark, Pat Thiel, Barb Bucha, Gary Long, Darryl Schulte, Lori Liszczak, Judy Gerlach, and Paul Gerlach. 24 Queen Barbara Bucha and King Paul Gerlach enjoy their corona¬ tion dance amid the grandeur of “Beneath the Mystic Sea.” Days of decoration had come to an end. The pains, worries, and anxieties that accompany the preceding days and nights before the Prom were over. “Beneath The Mystic Sea” found the gym underwater with the blue and green crepe paper ceiling rippling above. A sunken ship held the refreshments while the Johnny Marlowe Orchestra played from the sunken wharf. In¬ side a cove, a treasure chest sparkled with “precious” jewels. King Paul Gerlach and Queen Barb Bucha were assisted in their royal duties by prince and princess Lar¬ ry Herrman and Judy Gerlach. Each Prom has a similiarity to the preceding Proms. The days of decoration, the crowning of the king and queen and the grand march, and yet, each Prom is dif¬ ferent. It holds a magic spell all its own. The memories of “Beneath the Mystic Sea” will live on forever.
