t A Night in New York City was Above■ Queen Terri Michael and King Scott Baylor were finally located. Below: Junior class President Chuck McNevich crowned Queen Terri while King Scott quietly checked his program. Votes were counted, the announcement made, and no king appeared. Chuck McNevich, junior class president, called a second time for Queen Terri Michael. She finally materialized — but without the king. After Chuck’s third announcement, King Scott Baylor arrived. A Night in New York City” was the theme that the junior class had selected for this auspicious occasion. Preparation began five months before the May 22 date. Forty to fifty juniors worked between 500 and 600 hours under the capable leadership of Chuck McNe- vich. Prom workers labored at two different sites, building flats on which they painted harbor and park scenes. Later draped in 400 yards of black material, armed with needles and thread, they mounted scaf- folding to construct the draped ceiling. Sewing until their arms grew weary, they got the ceiling up after two long days, leaving them with only Friday night and Saturday morning to complete their work. They decorated until 3 o’clock Saturday morning, finally going home to sleep be- fore returning to set up tables and chairs. Following this, they were able to go home and begin personal preparations for the prom as the many others who would at- tend that evening. After pictures and dinner, juniors who had worked on the prom, along with oth- ers who hadn’t seen the decorations, walked down the harbor pier into New York City. Dancing to sounds by Crosstown Bus, the evening crept onward and concluded near the light of morning. The next day while others were sleep- ing, the conclusion became a reality for the tired juniors who returned to an emp- ty New York and tucked away materials for the next year’s junior class. 4 — Prom
