the Stars'' to Beauty and Fantasy On the evening of May 24, 1968--a starry and still night--Willkie Students proceeded through an arbor of flowers into an entrancing world of fountains and stardust. Softly surrounded by themusic of FrankNeville and hisorchestra, prom -goers danced in the ballroom. Entering into the next room, one came upon a warm atmosphere, set by candlelight and flower sand a pool enhanced with varied colors. In the same room refresh -ments were being served by our own Will-kie girls from a lovely long white table. As the evening's climax drew near , much curiosity was aroused as to who would be Willkie's 1968 Prom Queen. It was announced that this honor would be bestowed upon Miss Stephanie Fenni-more, and she was crowned by Junior Class President Dennis Huntsinger. Her Majesty's throne was backed by a golden crescent moon with sandy craters at her feet. Much work and last-m inute effort from the Class of '69 was put into this Enchanted Evening, a long-to-be-remem -bered event. Stephanie Fennimore smiles happily as she is crowned by Dennis Huntsinger. QUEEN CANDIDATES Trudy Bourff Pam Balser Stephanie Fennimore Merrilee Clouser Dianne Rogers II
