L’amour Est Bleu” JUNIORS T. J. Lamb and Vince Totta and seniors Pam Biber and Gary Woods relax with a cup of punch served from a three- tiered gold fountain decorated with ferns and roses. AMID SILKS. SATINS, and laces, St. Marians and their dates danced to the mu- sic of the “Vibrations” at their 1968 ju- nior-senior prom. The Grand Ballroom of the Continental Hotel set the stage for the April twentieth event. Students and chaperones sat at white-draped tables dec- orated with wax-dripped wine bottles serving as candle holders. The blue and gold prom booklets, which carried out the “Love Is Blue” theme, remained as souvenirs after the all-night festivities were forgotten. The junior class their sponsors Sr. M. Loretta and Sr. M. Karlanne financed the prom with projects like car washes, bake- sales, dances, and private contributions. AT the last formal festivity of their ’67-’68 school year juniors and seniors dance to the mu- sic provided by the “Vibrations. HAD Seniors Cathy Powers and Rick Lathrom known the camera bug was near, they’d have stopped ‘imitat- ing ducks.’ PROM proves too warm for Kathy Stine '68 as her escort, Joe Portugal, assists her in removing her gloves. Ron Novak ’68 and his date look over the memory booklets. COACHLS and chaperones can dance, too. Srs. M. Karlanne and Michon choose to sit this ‘one’ out, while Bruce and Lonna Smith (not married, just namc-alikcs) invade the faculty. 49
