SY QCDCDIZEQ QENQZYUON In 1960, the Junior Prom was changed to a Dinner Dance. For this annual affair the Junior class decorates the gym. Their mothers and fathers prepare the meal, and the underclassmen serve the meal. Last year an all out effort was made toward a successful Dinner Dance. The romantic theme, Southern Fantasy, was carried on by the use of realistic decor. Magnolia trees en- hanced a southern mansion. The music of the Top Hatter's helped to make up the dance at- mosphere. The meal prepared by the Junior mothers was superb and a near 100 070 attendance of faculty members, Juniors, and Seniors was reported. SOUTHERN FANMQY' EY WOEKJAND APIIQHZY 70
