These words were used in discussing the biggest social event of the year, namely, the Junior-Senior Prom. This event was put on by the juniors in honor of their departing senior friends. The banquet began at 6:30 in the lunch room with Don Reddel presiding as master of ceremonies. The prom, itself, got under way at 8:00 p.m. in the gymnasium and the music was furnished by Don and his Dixielanders . The juniors started making preparations for this prom months ahead of time.
