seniors experience damp” prom atmosphere The car did need washing . . . Didn't want all those curls anyway . . . Who knows, people might think this is a different dress with these spots... As juniors dashed frantically from the car on May 11, and skipped through Public Services' parking lot between raindrops, they entered a place where Love is Blue but the table center- pieces were red, white, and blue (blue angel hair surrounding a candle entwined with red roses). Ray Edward's band played Love is Blue while queen, Debbie Rodarmal, was crowned with a halo of blue flowers. Eleven o'clock appeared and jun- iors disappeared into the wet darkness. Sailing into the parking lot of the Sheraton Lincoln, May 25, seniors and their dates then swam across the street and ascended to the 14th floor of the hotel. In spite of the outside damp- ness, It Was a Very Good Year might have flashed through couples minds as they walked to the cloakroom, then to the ballroom, the cloak- room, to the refreshment room, and the cloak- room, (now wait . . .) and over to the small room for formal pictures (all rented for the occasion). The Plainfield High School Dance Band played and couples sat at lantern decorated tables. Sen- ior prom paddles traveled down the elevator with couples around midnight as one senior mum- bled, What is this rain stuff on prom night! Your pupils are dialated says Sen. Dave Petty to Lisa Harris. Debbie Rodarmal dances as newly-crowned queen of the Ju- nior prom with her escort. Junior Bill Leech. 23

But Class Night is over, the Elk's Senior Party is over, Baccalaureate in the sweltering gym is over, and now Commencement is over—Com- mencement where the blue-and-white line marched to the traditional Pomp and Circum- stance on the football field—Commencement where Dr. McMahan spoke and Mr. Ross presented the diplomas—Commencement where Mr. Combs' words, And now by the power vested in me, I declare you graduates and alumnae of Plainfield High School, echoed over the field —It's over, but, We are Mighty, We are Great, We're the Class of 68 ... and we always will be. It was the third of June ... The graduates form a line of flat- topped, tasseled heads in the fading rays of Graduation Day. No more watching, no more waiting, no more trying to be . .. older; it's here and you are—and now you're on your Sponsored by Dr. Irving Cohen and Family own...... 25
