PAGE SIX THE ACORN SENIOR EDITION Memories of 1948 Prom Will Linger Many Years Drifting and Dreaming Memories—oh, what beautiful thoughts recollected from that memorable evening, truly an evening to remember—the Junior and Senior Prom. You can hear the faint music floating out into the darkened night as you ap- proach the lighted building. Inside the lights are dim yet catching the shine of his polished shoes—the gold in her hair—as the couples sway to the strains of Moonlight and Roses played by Regis Kerns and His Harmony Eight and sung by vocalist Jay Bell. Then you hear the swish of taffeta against serge blending in with the strains of a waltz. The auditorium is decorated with a garden scene and you truly feel as if you are in a garden, as if it were you under the arbor in the backdrop on the stage or leaning against the picket fence with the beautiful roses winding around it. Bal- loons above catching the enchantment of the evening in their many colors. There you are whirling with the swaying couples in the last dance of the evening. Suddenly balloons are showering around you—you catch one and hold it tight so you will have something to remember from the wonderful evening. But if the balloon breaks and the remains, though treasured, waste away, you will never forget your prom, your first or your last at OHS. Everything is gone; nothing remains but sweet memory.
