Long live the king and the queen. While Bluffton High School's junior-senior prom goes back many decades, so does the prom king and queen tradition. This year's prom, held at The Centre on April 26, followed the years-old pattern.
This year's royality go to Tyler Belcher and Kit-Ann Knisley. The couple is in the photograph accompanying this story. A second photo of the couple, during their crowning ceremony, is posted in the photo gallery below. The prom king and queen are selected by a vote from members of the senior class.

Bluffton University student Katie Conrad is excited to explore Bogotá, Colombia, on her upcoming cross-cultural trip.
Former Bluffton resident, Lois Kreider, who wore many hats when she lived in Bluffton, was in town earlier this week.
She was a guest at the volunteer banquet for the Et Cetera Shop and also, with three of her daughters, met with several Bluffton aquaintances in the town hall for an afternoon of remembering.
Once upon a time, her Bluffton activities, apart from serving as First Lady of Bluffton College, during the presidency of her husband, Robert, included being a Girl Scout leader and the person behind the launch of the Et Cetera Shop.
