Beauty, splendor of colonial days revived at prom From the flower-lined corridors to the softly lit ' ' ballroom ' ' , the 1968 Junior-Senior Prom, Colonial Courtyards , captured the radiant beauty and splendor of the past in its decorations and its atmosphere. Couples entered a re-created garden of towering trees and brightly-colored flowers, which led them to their destination: a spacious ballroom with stately pillars and velvet draperies. While dancing to the music of the Vito Manno Orchestra, the magic of the evening captivated everyone present. A tie vote brought Janyce Hope and Betty Bodley to the throne as Prom Queens, and Kevin Roche donned his crown as the new King. Time expired, and Colonial Courtyards again became a part of the past. But, its enthralling magic was still very much alive. Bumblebees for each couple were planted in a hedge formed from wood, chicken wire, paper, and hours of labor. Ken Jones and Debby Stevenson look through the greenery for their own names. Captivated by an atmosphere of stately pillars and twinkling chandeliers, couples sway rhythmically to the romantic sounds of Vito Manno Orchestra. 12 Prom
