Also a great share of the credit goes to Dick Ford, the stage manager, whose careful preparation behind the scenes added to the success of the play. Topping the year's fun and zeal was the ex- citing grand finale of the Iunior-Senior Banquet and Prom held on May 14. Again the zip and pep of the junior class was taxed as everyone tried distractedly to finish the small odd jobs that had somehow piled up. The harassed but never reluctant class sponsor, Mrs. lda Grubbe, helped with unrelentless zest and vitality. But at last the task was completed, and everyone agreed that the prom was a success, The ban- quet was full of laughter and unrestrained gay- ety, the theme 'iMoonlight and Roses was simply breathtaking, the music of the orchestra was smooth and dreamy, and the crowning of the prom queen was an exceptionlly lovely sight.
