Flower Gardens Create Oriental Atmosphere As excited juniors and seniors entered the gymnasium on the evening of April 29, they were greeted by the sound of a gong and oriental servants bowing to pay them hom- age. Inside, ambitious juniors had transformed the gym into a regal Japanese garden. Tall red torii, many Japa- nese lanterns, a romantic flower garden with a bridge, and a large, impressive pagoda all contributed to the total effect of ‘‘Bridge to the Sun.” Participants in the figure, Junior and Senior Class officers and Senior Superlatives, performed the symbolic oriental forms of a fish kite and a pagoda. While dancing or waiting in line for pictures, girls in their formals and boys in their dinner jackets enjoyed the music of a Virginia Beach group, Bill Deal and the Rhondels. Bryan McNeely and Donna Felty (L 4)} participate in the figure which de- picts a Japanese fish kite. Sophomore servers (BELOW) give an Oriental welcome to Debbie Haas and her escort, Billy Davis, as they cross the bridge into a transformed gym. 23

Torii, Lanterns, and Enchanted by the Oriental atmosphere and perhaps mentally building their own ‘bridges to the sun,” Junior and Senior Class officers and Se- nior Superlatives await the beginning of the Prom figure. Expressing the appreciation and devotion of the Junior Class, Tommy Rodgerson presents a smiling Mrs. Frazier with a gift, as Bob Pease, Patti Stowell, Melissa Toler, Mike Ryman, Tommy Daniels, and Lynn Martin watch. 22
