1954 PROM The night of May 14, 1954 was truly a night to remember for the Juniors and Seniors. On this date the Junior Class presented the annual prom. The theme for this prom was Moonlight and Roses. The dark blue sky, the twinkling stars, and the music of Leo Baxter and his orchestra set the mood for this evening. Guests entered this fairy-like garden through a white flower-decked gate. Along the sides of the gym there was a white trellis where vines and pink and red roses were entwined. The bandstand was a raised carpet of green strewn with roses on wrought iron stands and the tables were decorated with star- dust and silhouettes of a dancing couple. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the queen, Ruth Davidson. Her attendants were Sharon Hayes, Sue Staats, Joyce Goldner, Margo Pesavento, Phyllis Secondino, and Joan Filchak. As the strains of Goodnight Sweetheart floated through the gym, the guests knew that their evening was fast drawing to a close. Page 14
