Juniors Norm Shearer and Mardell Vonasch were crowned Prince and Princess. Many months of careful planning and hard work slowly faded into the past as the night of the final Dyer Central High School prom drew near. Through a week of rain and fog, juniors combined their talents to transform the high school gymnas¬ ium into a brilliant scene of grandeur. The weather was clear on Saturday as the final touches were put on the 1966 prom. As couples entered the building, their eyes feasted on a magnificent garden. Across a stream and through a cave, couples entered into another world— a grand spectacle of “Eden and Beyond”. Gazing at the many tropical scenes, couples walked across a bridge and looked into a crystalline pond which seemed to reflect the radiant mood of the entire evening. The grotto, enwrapped with flowers and shrubbery, was another uniqueness that added to the total effect of “Eden and Beyond”. A bamboo hut provided the perfect setting for couples to sam¬ ple paradise partridge and fantasy kabobs. A rainbow throne served its purpose as King Tom Mygrants and Queen Patti Grish reigned over the 1966 prom. Prince Norm Shearer and Princess Mar¬ dell Vonasch assisted them in their duties. Enhanced by the music of Ross Anderson and his band, the evening came to a pleasant close. Weary couples traveled home with gay memories of the 1966 Junior-Senior prom. 22
