“Moonlit Carousel At 10:00 Junior and Senior class officers led the Grand March around gaily-colored carousel Attired in a gay ' 90 ' s costume, Mr. Follis presents bids to couples visit- ing his pink and white striped ticket booth 146 reminisces gay ' 90 ' s Moonlit Carousel, the 1967 prom theme, brought a gay ' 90 ' s carnival to VHS gym on May 19. A charming entrance of grass, gray brick, a fountain, and white lawn furniture wel- comed the guests to the old-fashioned amuse- ment park. At a striped ticket booth near the door, couples exchanged their passes for pink bids. A twenty-foot high carousel topped by a pink and white striped canopy dominated the floor ' s center. Soft lights lent a moonish luster to the four blue and lavender horses mounted on the structure ' s base. Chalk murals of summer parks and fashions of the era enclosed a dozen tables on the stage. Girls in pinafores and boys in shoestring ties served punch at a gay blue and white refreshment stand. At one booth manne- quins awaited customers for kisses at 25 cents each while another stand advertised, Games — Two for 15C. At 10:00 all the couples, led by junior and senior class officers, began the Grand March around the carousel. As 11:30 ap- proached the 220 couples departed from their delightful evening under the Moonlit Carousel.
