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. Russ Caldwell, Dayna Cole, and Skip Fresn seemed at a loss without the aid of Sue Lebow, Ann Mitch ,..L. ard, and Kris Hemion.

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?

the Many Moods of Mercer were captured by X- Nw ...W Mercer Hi Times As the twenty-two members of the MERCER HI TIMES distributed the newspaper, proudness crept from behind their satirical smiles. The staff published the fifteen issues in proper iournalistic style and proved them- selves worthy of their first place rating from the Columbia Press Associa- tion. Enlarging the issue in length and the number of pages meant that more time had to be devoted to organization and work on the paper. Mrs. Clara Hayward, adviser, assisted the co-editors, Beth Egly and Greg Palmer, to put out the finest paper possible. The staff attended a press conference at the U. of W. and the editors were also invited to interview such personalities as Ann Landers and Lloyd Thaxton. Editors gave much of their free time to the paper. Described by Mrs. Clara Hayward, adviser, as a bunch of extroverts were Front Row: Martha Wolf, Marie Stanislaw, Dixon Rice and Doug Hosner. Back Row: Cindy Burdell, Julie Gibson, Tim Field, and Alison Crane. Reporters interested in new ideas in iournalism kept up by reading other high school pa- pers. Gathered around the circulation desk are Front Row: Sue Nelson, Greg Goss, Patti Rose, Ulrike Lieder, and Debbie Pedersen. Back Row: Grayson Connor, Ann Morrison, Barbara Kadaner, Brian Wertheimer, Chris Freed, Bob Boyd, Skip Kirby, Dan Seligman, Whatever greg Palms' was planning Beth Egly was Pfe- Gnd Lynn Bimey' pared to hit the panic button.
