UPPER LEFT: It's the last grand march of East High for these seniors at An Old-fashioned Ball, l948 senior prom, at which rustic benches and lamp posts carried out the gay nineties motif. UPPER RIGHT: Dive for the oyster, dig for the clam, pack 'em all up in a sardine can, and everybody swing! Seniors run them- selves ragged at their mixer as they square dance to the rollicking calls of Lou Harrington. RIGHT: Gray-garbed seniors await their trip to the stage of the Coronado theater to receive their diplomas. LOWER LEFT: How can you miss, fellows? A shortage of ping- pong tables at Rec parties doesn't fuss Don Erickson, Ralph Lind- hlom, Curt Ostrom, Bergen Nelson, and XX7ayne Cowlishaw, who have invented quintuples. LONWER RIGHT: Senior Officers john Hopp, Gloria Carlson, Bill Spickerman, and Bill Rudelius relax a moment by the flagpole from their duties as treasurer, secretary. president, and vice-president, class of '49.
