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.

During intermission the dancers take time out to visit the attractive and inviting refreshment table. They could have danced all night.

4 I Graduation Exercises MIXED CHORUS The first formal concert of the Glee Club for the 1956-57 season was given at the December meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association by the Mixed Glee Club. A new organization in the school, the Mixed Glee Club has proved to be a great success. Many of the boys have shown a great deal of talent and enthusiasm and have spent many enjoyable hours rehearsing. The Girls ' Chorus made its initial ap- pearance at the annual Christmas Concert presented just before the start of the holi- day vacation. This fine program of Christmas music was enjoyed by the capa- city crowd which attended. Rehearsals are held once a week under the capable direction of Miss Jane O ' Brien, Director of Music. The Glee Clubs practice many different types of songs but seem to enjoy singing Negro spirituals best. We all look forward to hearing more from both groups in the future.
