Mary Rita Keating Prom Queen 48 ed :12 The soft lights of Hotel Stotler' main ballroom seemed to smile op provingly at the gorgeous sight Ou Lady's Seniors and Juniors made on January 15, 1943. Perfumed flowers of youth filled th powder room and combined with all the ohs! , ahs! and how supers,' while our dates waited outside in stif collared tuxes. The melodic tunes of Willard cm his radio orchestra filled the ballroo with jiving tunes. We thought ou programs of red, white, and blue with little braided tassels to hang over ou wrists, too pretty to write in; so in- stead, we added them to our boxes 0 fond memory makers. On the cove of the program was an outline of the Gothic towers of Notre Dame. Mary Rita Keoting, our Prom queen, lent on air of distinction as she and her king, Patrick Blepp danced the royal waltz to Moonlight Becomes You. Her gown of ice blue brocade and net shimmered and glowed while the lights of the ballroom were turned low. After the royal couple danced, the committee danced with their es- corts. It was thrilling to watch these twelve couples come out from different parts of the ballroom and blend in a kaleidoscope of color. Heading the list and helping to make our Prom the best ever were, Marion Kerrigan, Senior class presi- dent and Joseph Gronzir; Margaret Creodon, class secretary and Viets Collister; Helen Arnold, treasurer with Ted Walters. The rest of the com- mittee included Jeanne Gensert and John Fohey, Gabriella Gulyassy and William Keough, Mary Jane Gut and Ray Kingsbury, Jeanne Iommarino and
