Juniors Use Fountain For Prom Center Although we didn ' t have a lot of time for decorating the gym this year, the class worked together as a whole team and came up with a winning masterpiece for the seniors to behold. One distressing fact was that we were nearly finished with our prom decorations when all of a sudden the rain started pouring one evening, and the next day the gym floor had already begun to absorb water and bubble. We had to change our plans! Panic was not the answer. Using our heads, we came up with an idea which added to our theme even more than our original plans. Avacado and goldenrod streamers formed an aisle that lead all entrants across a flagstone bridge and into the ballroom that might have been one of the ancient past. Prior to the prom, juniors and seniors enjoyed a dinner menu of juice, steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, sal- ad, rolls, butter, sherbert, and iced tea or coffee. Qipping the streamers firmly to the wire is Peggy Stowe. fciwaa ' « ' Look at the busy girls folding napkins for the banquet dinner. Roberta Winters, Jane Winterrowd, and Patsy Gray certainly are concentrating. The center of attraction on the gym floor sunounded four shale paths leading to a three tier fountain. Kathy Sausaman and Darl Hall place the final touches to the center. Carol Graft and Glen- da Chain hand avoca- do and goldenrod streamers atong the cafeteria walls.

Theme Of Camelot On May 10, 1969 Camelot served as the theme for the 1969 Junior-Se- nior Prom on May 3. Couples entered the gym through a simulated drawbridge. Another bridge over a pond was part of a corridor decorated in dark brown. The gym was done in the round with a color scheme of orange, yellow, and brown. Two alcoves, one for tables and another for refreshments, added to the mood. The focal point consisted of an English garden scene accented with a three tier fountain in the middle of the floor. The Howard Amell Combo provided the music for the evening. A coat of arms behind the band set the theme of Camelot. A formal evening and the slow music of The Howard Amell Combo set a very romantic atmosphere. As a final touch to the mood, Randy Thrush, Mary Lou Hipskind, Carol Graft, Keith Waggoner, Phil Siders, Pat Garrison, Jeff Houlihan, and Margo Copeland float along with the musical rhythm.
