Cherish was the word used to describe the Elk Grove Junior-Senior Prom, which took place on the evening of May 23, 1969. The Junior class spon- sored our school's third annual spring formal. As the couples entered the ballroom of the Chevy Chase Country Club, they were received by the honored guests, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Haskell, Mr. and Mrs. Righter Farris, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Fyfe, and Mr. E The highlight of the evening was the crowning P of King Chris Gruber and Queen Cindy Andre. Barb Darge, Torn Klemens, Jacque Rohrs, Pat Texidor, Nancy Whiting, Bill Martin, Jodi Knudson, and Tom Neri were the members of their court. The pink and white heart, which silhouetted the king and queen and their court, set the mood for the coronation. Henry Butell and his orchestra played the soft, flowing music for the formal. This night now is a part of the treasured mem ories we will Cherish forever deep in our hearts. li I and Mrs. Charles Aldrich. I Couples prepare to enter the Chevy Chase Country Cl -fy-M-.
