SENIOR SECTION THE ACORN PAGE SEVEN Year’s Big Social Event, J-S Prom, Is Gala Affair To the well-rendered music of Regis Kerins and His Harmony 8,” a large crowd of seniors, juniors, alumni, teachers, and other invited guests jammed the auditorium on the night of May 8 for the school’s annual big social event, the Junior- Senior ‘Prom. The dance floor was crowded for most of the dances, al- though the group gave way to the jitterbug spcialists on a few numbers as the orchestra went through its repertoire of modern dance favorites. Highlight of the evening for some (and probably most) of the people was the refreshments, consisting of cup cakes and fruit punch, which were served by the refreshment com- mittee. In keeping with the prom’s slccp- ing-Indian theme, the decorations featured large and small wall murals depicting Mexican scenes, streamers of various colors and a luxuriant array of multi-colored balloons. The balloons were cut loose from their supports on the ceiling of the audi- torium at the close of the affair and allowed to drift down into the hands of dozens of souvenir seekers. Booklets entitled Memories” were furnished for the evening’s couples and stag line. They were decorated with cacti, sombreros, etc.; inside there was space for autographs, dance program, and memories which were especially cherishable. Following the tradition of former years, the style of dress was set at semi-formal. Practically all of the ladies proudly exhibited their even- ing dresses, and the young gentlemen had that well-dressed look by sport- ing their best dress suits. (What! No tuxedos?) Marshall Moats, Jr., junior class president, was hopeful that the af- fair would be successful. The gener- al opinion is that his hopes are more than realized.
