 Summer Breeze Did you know that a PHS gym had a bridge covered with beautiful colored paper? In the middle of the room was a pavillion containing lawn furniture and garden trellises, all surrounded by walls of different shades of yellow and green. This was the setting for 1975's prom. The theme was Summer Breeze , and the band, Yosemite , made a special arrangement of the song Summer Breeze , especially for the coronation of the king and queen. At ten o’clock the coronation took place. The court: Gary Anderson, Mark Volden (King candidates), Debbie Edwards, Anna-Elisabeth Kravik (Queen candidates), Gary Longfellow, Tim James (Prince candidates), and Sue Vandiver, Bea Kitchens (Princess candidates), were followed by Prince Greg Williams, Princess Kim Eichelberger, Queen Sue Seibring and King Rick Schaumburg.
