26 On Friday, May 18, approximately two hundred couples drifted by starlight through a southern garden consisting of ivy-covered walls, magnolia blossoms, and Spanish moss. The auditorium stage, with its large white columns, represented the front of the mansion while the two entrances were flanked by large, flower-covered trellises. Other highlights included a wishing well scene and a formal dining room, which were both located in the basement of the Civic. The Proud Flesh provided the entertainment and when the couples tired of dancing, they travelled downstairs where several sophomores served them punch and cookies. At 10:30 p.m. junior class president Chip Jones presented Mr. Lowell Barker and Mr. Keith Piper with gifts in appreciation for all of their guidance and hard work throughout the year. After this acknowledge- ment, queen candidates anxiously awaited the student body's decision. Chip then placed a crown on Bobbi Grey's head, and presented her with a bouquet of roses. She and her escort, Ray Hammons, then stepped on to the dance floor for the traditional spotlight dance. At midnight, the promgoers were driven to the La Porte Theater where they saw the film. Frenzy. Upon their return, the couples were served a buffet dinner catered by Keims, lifted their chairs for door prizes, and danced through the early morning hours with music provided by The Americans, o group from Indianapolis.
