Candidate Francis Ott Juniors and Seniors Dance A Parisian atmosphere captured the enthusiasm of all who attended the Junior-Senior Prom on May 2, 1959. At 11:00 p.m. Judy Clarke and Dennis O’Conner, last year’s king and queen, crowned Nancy Gullic and Mike Sullivan, King and Queen of 1959. Mickey Isley’s orches- tra helped to create the mood as it played “Under Paris Skies.” The Grand March, led by the king and queen, showed the beautiful array of pastel-colored formals that blended in well with the Parisian theme.
