Wonderland by Night The wishing well seems to be of interest to these couples. Turned into a Wonderland by ight , the Northfield gym became the scene of the 1968 Junior-Senior Prom on May 4. Couples entered the wonderland on a path which led through a rose covered trellis. The focal point of the gym was the beautiful wishing well. The west end of the gym was decorated with a solid blue wall on which was the silver-lettered theme. Directly below was a garden scene of Southern white garden furniture. At the opposite end of the gym was the band. The false walls and ceilings and the decorated tables added to the mood and helped to make the evening an enjoyable one for the 300 juniors, seniors, guests, and faculty mem- bers present. Frank Neville and His Orchestra provided an evening of music. Mr. Hite and dale enjoy a formal evening as much as the students.
