Junior class president, Dan Curran, and his date, Becky Drew, chat with School Committee member, Mrs. Charles Mitch- ell. JUNIOR PROM Stardust, spangles, and laughter dominated the Memorial School gym on the night of the junior prom, November 16, 1956. After the grand march, which was led by Mr. Mrs. Charles Clapp, the young ladies in their formal gowns escorted by gentlemen dressed in their Sunday best, passed through the receiving line to greet their chaper- ones. Everyone enjoyed dancing to the music of Allie ' s orchestra. The stardust theme was carried out by a blue and white backdrop oflattio work sprinkled with silver stars. Decorated tables lined the sides of the gym. Thanks to members of the faculty, many reluctant and shy males of Story finally worked up enough courage to invite the ladies of their choice. Junior class advisor, Mr. Nelson, gave much time and en- couragement to the proceedings, so that the evening turned out to be a very happy and memorable one for those fortunate enough to at- tend. Committee Suzanne Butler Janice Carroll Kerry Crane Dan Curran Rosemary DeGrasse Myrna Diamond Martin Jorgensen Suzanne Jorgensen Andrea Lee Paul Radack Judy Snow Dorothy Troy Eric Wetterlow Sophomores enjoy intermission at tables which line the gym against a backdrop of white and blue lat- tice work. During intermission the dancers take time out to visit the attractive and inviting refreshment table. They could have danced all night.
