King for the night



The secret was well-kept.
The teachers, staff and students at Harry S. Truman High School were left in the dark, as is the tradition, about the nominees for prom king and queen.

But when they found out who would be crowned king at Pen Ryn Mansion in Bensalem recently, they could not have been happier or more emotional.
That’s because the Class of 2012 didn’t go with the all-star jock or the class president. They didn’t pick the star of the school play.
Instead, they chose Michael Zielinski, 18, a life skills student who attended all special education classes except for gym.
“It was exciting,” said Zielinski, who had never before attended a prom.
“When Michael was crowned prom king, he was so excited,’’ said his prom date Adriana Stephenson, a senior at Bucks County Technical High School. “He was jumping up to pump up the crowd. He is such a nice guy and everyone seems to know him because of his outgoing personality. I met a countless number of his friends. As his friend myself, it was my pleasure to go to the prom with him.”
