Moments, Everlasting Fond Memories King Fernando Volonte and Queen Kimber Middleton On the magical evening of January 18, four handsome princes and five lovely princesses anxiously made their approach to Rio Hondo College w ith anticipation and excite- ment. As the clock struck 7:00 p.m., gentlemen suited in tuxedos and ladies in frilly formal attire, steadily flowed into the college ' s Putnam Center. It seemed, at this time, that the evening promised to be a memorable one indeed. As a rememberance of the evening, each couple received a candy-filled champagne glass upon entering the dance Pictures, courtesy of Sanford Studio, were taken throughout the evening, while students danced to the melodic tunes of D.J., Music Connection As the moment of crowning approached, the excitement rose and the attending couples wondered who this year ' s queen might be. Tension mounted as the Winter Formal court was introduced. The Freshamn Princess Erika Ottman was introduced first; unfortunately, the Freshman Class was unable to produce a prince. Following Erika were the sopho- mores. Princess Debbie Beatty and Prince Dave Sifling. The next couple introduced was the juniors. Princess llleen Szuder and Prince Ron Brown. The senior couples were then introduced. Princesses Kimber Middleton and Stephanie Le- vis, and Princes Brian Tragarz and Fernando Volonte. After the couples took their places at the front of the dance floor, the previous year ' s King and Queen, Daren Bachman and Laurie Erstad, took their places behind the senior couples, preparing to crown the 1986 Winter Formal King and Queen. After moving the crown over the prin- cesses ' heads, Ms. Erstad placed the crown on the Queen ' s head, and the new king and queen were announced: KING FERNANDO VOLONTE and QUEEN KIMBER MIDDLETON!!
