Sophomores Nab Decorations Too Under the supervision of chairman David Wirt, the sophomores turned the study hall into two Indian villages and a "Boot Hill."presented by The Junior ClassTender was the night when the guests arrived at an outdoor patio for the junior-senior prom. In the center of the patio was a fountain with a young maiden pouring water into a round ivory basin. Stars in a sky of blue shone on the hedge-bordered patio. After the patio dance, couples traveled to the Ada Theater where they saw MARY MARY. Then sleepy prom-goers somehow found the energy to bowl and play bingo at Norada Lanes. Hungry by this time, the guests were served breakfast at the Liberty Conservation Club. Thus ended a lovely and memorable evening. Romantic music was provided by The L.B. Quintet. Dick Klingler and Jacquie Love provided extra entertainment.

WILLIAMS, WILLIAM H.--Chorus 1; Football 1,2.THE CHARM OF ADA HIGH AS WE LEAVE YOU, ADA HIGH, WE'LL NOT FORGET YOUR MANY BEAUTIES SILVER DOMED, YOU STAND UNDER THE OHIO SKY, A PROUD AND MIGHTY CASTLE OF RED BRICK. EVERYWHERE ARE YOUR GIFTS OF BEAUTY: ROLLING LAWNS, WINDING WALKS, SHADY PATIOS, BUDDING BLOSSOMS, TALL TREES, AND FLUTTERING FLAG. WITHIN WALLS, DREAMS OF KNOWLEDGE ARE FOUND WHERE TEACHERS LECTURE, GIVE TESTS AND ADVISE, SEEKING TO INFORM THE INQUISITIVE MIND. THE STUDENTS SELDOM PAUSE DURING THE BUSY YEAR, FOR THEY ARE ATTENDING INITIATIONS, COLLECTING NOTES, GRADE CARDS, HONORS, SHEDDING SENTIMENTAL TEARS AND OLD BOOKS ON THE LAST DAY. AND IN SIX SHORT YEARS WE ARE GONE. BUT THE CHARM OF ADA HIGH LIVES ON AND ON.
