The theme of Darien High's junior/senior prom was The Roaring 20's, but it could have been The Psychedelic 70's. The girls streaming into the Greenwich Hyatt were decked out in every color of the rainbow, from lavender to red to daffodil yellow. "I picked this because I loved the color," said senior Aimee Rich of her royal blue gown, which featured a beaded train. Amanda Hutter and Lindsey Hartfelder's coordinated dresses worked a cheetah print into their turquoise and purple color schemes. Even the transportation was colorful. Along with the usual stretch limos were party buses with neon lights, TV screens, blasting music and the capacity to seat at least 20 kids.
"This is the biggest attendance we've ever had for the prom," said principal Dan Haron, estimating about 580 students present. "We don't have assigned seating, so that makes it easier. Most of the kids don't sit anyway."
