Sure looks like Paris. . .

Tegland Archives
"An April in Paris" was the theme of the Prom in 1965. This rare color photo highlights the Grand March, where parents sat in the bleachers and watched their kids walk by in formal gowns and rented clothes. Still have your prom pictures? Please send one to Rolfsrud@gmail.com or mail it to the address mentioned above. Not sure about the theme of the 1964 Prom, below. But sharp eyes reveal that Karl Tegland and Sue Gorham are leading this march, apparently as Junior Class Officers. The Junior Class was charged with organizing and presenting the proms for the seniors, this editor recalls. Click on the image to enlarge. Sharper eyes will spot John Fahlberg, Paul Donley, Barry Bauer and Rusty Rolandson. The prom was a spring event, and the scoreboard still has a paper label taped on it from past tournament games. A bag of balloons hangs over the A in the center of the gym, awaiting its climatic moment. A bedecked volleyball standard becomes a May Pole.
