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

Ruffles, turtlenecks mark fashion scene in new ’68 styles 14 Fads Head to toe co-ordination highlighted the fashion scene this year. Starting at the top, versatile hair styles complimented outfits. The feminine look prevailed for girls; whether long, short, real, or fake, curls were for girls, while boys sported conservative sideburns. Ruffles, pat- terned hose, and mod watches added the finishing touches to girls ' ensembles, and leather clothing also became a common sight around school. Shoes took on the old- fashioned look with chunky heels for girls, wing tips for boys, and plenty of brass for all. Adding variety and color to a once limited choice of boys ' clothes, turtleneck sweater and slacks ensembles and modified versions of the Nehru were comfortable for class, games, and soc-hops. Whatever the look, boys also found the mod watch to be a practical addition to a wardrobe. Papering a locker takes patience, agree sophomores Julie Mikula and Cheryl Ribicki, as they apply bright printed paper. Sophomore Jan Sacha and Senior Anthony Matovina display the current fashions while taking a break between classes.
