The Prom: A Junior’s Beginning; A Senior’s End PROM The 1969 Prom truly followed its theme, “The Sunshine of Our Life”, by being held on the last day of school. On June 12 exalted Juniors and Seniors converged onto the dance floor with completely free spirits to music provided by the Magic Reign. The persimmon and white carnation arrange¬ ments added to the atmosphere of the Persian Room at the Marriott Twin Bridges Motel. The long-stemmed roses that adorned the queen’s throne helped make the coronation of Chris Crann especially beautiful. It was an unforgettable evening for Juniors, and a final parting memory for Seniors. FA jyp - ™ it „ H A. f Chris Crann, on the arm of Steve Randolph, walks to her coronation.

MUSIC MAN The Music Man, presented with much enthu¬ siasm by its capable cast, won great recogni¬ tion from its audiences. Lead parts, the proper Miss Marion Paroo and the rascally Professor Harold Hill, were played by Debby Fick and Ron Reinsel. Beautiful songs like “My White Knight and “Till There Was You sent chills up the spine while crazy songs like “Shipoopi and “Pick-a-little, Talk-a-little kept the audiences laughing. Bright scenery and melodious voices blended together to make the Music Man one of Mount Vernon’s finest and most entertain¬ ing productions.
