the World in Eighty Days On May 18, 1968, many Juniors, Seniors, and guests went Around the World in Eighty Days — in one night. For it was that night that the annual Junior- Senior Prom highlighted the social year at Columbia City Joint High School. The Class of 1969 worked for over two months and spent nearly $4000 to produce one of the most elaborate Proms in the history of CCJHS. Organized by class sponsors Mrs. Armstrong and Mr. Drew, the Juniors carried out their chosen theme with picturesque scenes from ten countries: England, France, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Egypt, Thailand, India, Japan, and the United States. A band from Defiance College, The DCs, provided music for dancing in the gymnasium. The auditorium was the scene for the evening ' s entertainment— The Mob from Chicago. An appropriate variety of foods was served, representing the different countries. Again, tradition was carried on with the crowning of the Prom queen. Jari Hazen was selected to reign along with Teresa Manago, Senior attendant, and Phyllis Nic- cum. Junior attendant. The 1968 Junior-Senior Prom, and its theme Around the World In Eighty Days, will be long remembered by many who attended. Students, faculty, and guests will regard it as a milestone in their social lives. Prom guesis dance to the music of The DCs. The romantic atmosphere of the prom creates an evening to be cher- ished by junior and senior couples. Teachers and their companions converse at the Egyptain section.
