A popular fast band, The Counts , provided off- beat music as couples danced to the disco rhythms. A colorful art gallery amid decorations in orange and shocking pink, added to the liveliness of the ev- ening. Working to make the Tolo a successful and entertaining event were the Girls' Club officers and the committee chairmen. Imaginative decorations were designed by Ilene Mannon, Patsy Campbell, Terry Bigsby, Julie Gibson, seated, and Cindy Burdell, Diane Katz, and Kathy Hacker, standing. lcenterj The barker in front of the coffeehouse, U92 Yesler , greeted many couples after the dance, while others enioyed SeattIe's water- front sights from the deck of a ferry. flower left and centerj Yes, it was a tolo, but did that include changing a flat tire too?

highlighted by the Tolo and the Prom l The misty Scotland Highlands provided the setting for the Junior-Senior Prom. Follow- ing the theme, Brigadoon, the Mushroom was transformed into a Scottish village and its surrounding countryside. The entrance to this mysterious world was a narrow boardwalk leading under a shimmering waterfall. A busy tailor in his quaint shop took care of wraps. A cobblestone stairway led up to an enchanted woods with enor- mous toadstools, weeping cherry trees in full bloom, and a magic wishing well. Under the ivy-covered cliff were a bakery, a pub, and other shops. Thatched houses with neat, white picket fences dotted the outskirts of the village. A scroll posted near the public square told the ancient legend of the village, the Legend of Brigadoon. Couples danced to the music of Milt Quebe and his Band as the king and queen of the Prom watched from their thrones.
