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

Cleanliness Promoted by ‘‘Fresh Start” After the excitement of the Prom, students reluctantly returned to the routine of school and prepared for ex- ams. Seniors began thinking of graduation, and that fa- bled disease, ‘‘Senioritis,’’ ran rampant. While under- classmen and juniors flocked to the courtyards, the newly landscaped Senior Court was crowded with se- niors enjoying the early summer days. Huguenot had its own form of spring cleaning with a project termed ‘‘Fresh Start.’’ Several clubs and individu- als undertook the monumental task of cleaning the bathrooms. For the first time, the SCA installation was held in May, and the new officers began their terms at the end of the year.
