This dance set a new precedent as the entire student body selected the royal candidates.

Honored at this dance, however, were the students of MHS, who selected as their king and queen, Terry Murphy and Kaye Koon . rr Qu, Committee functions which all had a share in making the dance successful, were led by their respective chairmen: decorations, Carol Brown, program, Irene Miller and Marilyn Moore, pub- licity, Ellen Dickens, and refreshments, Tony Alderson .
