The Collegians from Richmond provides won- derful music and plenty of entertainment. BEYOND THE SEA ln May the juniors presented the Seniors with a prom, whose underwater theme was Beyond the Sea. The entire gymnasium, decorated by junior commit- tees, appeared to be a vast scene on the bottom of the deep sea.
