Parisian Mist Creates Prom Atmosphere Memories are made of this. Al- though this phrase from a song may be old and out of date, no other words could express what the Junior-Senior Prom holds for each couple that at- tends. Hotel Gary ' s Crystal Ballroom was the scene of Hobart High School ' s Prom Parisian Mist, May 1. Decorations pre- sented a Paris scene. A miniature Eiffel Tower was even included to give a French air to the ballroom. Couples danced to the music of the Johnny Now- lan Orchestra until 11:30 p.m. Dinner was served at San Remo ' s from 12:30 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. Afterwards the floor was cleared for more dancing. The Kingsmen scheduled to appear at 3 a.m. were unable to come. However, Hobart students provided their own entertain- ment when they found they would have to do without professionals. Some of the young men tied dinner napkins together until they had made large jumping ropes. They proceeded to the center of the floor and began jump- ing.
