The chief social event of the season was the Deep Purple Prom. Members of the decoration committee worked until seven o'clock and managed to be ready by nine. Barbara Clemente was the envy of everyone when she danced with Mr. Hermanson. We lost only four dollars. This year we have been as gay and daring as ever. We have worn rubber boots, pinafores, jerkins, ear rings, and have even experimented with various hair rinses for the sake of glamour. Even we were surprised to discover our dramatic talent when the class presented Little Women. In Beth's death scene, Rosemary Mullen brought tears to the eyes of the audience of modern sophisticates. Throughout the year we have struggled over the American Observer (we read the jokes) and learned more about the world situation. Habitual residents of the library while securing reference for the senior vocational essays, we still found time to exchange our senior rings. In June, we received free bids to the annual junior prom and attended en masse, the boys in borrowed tux pants and the girls in organdies. Now graduation is approaching. We look forward to it with anticipation and a little regret. We will be saying goodbye to our classmates, teachers, and friends. Each one of us will go his own way. 13
