Promtime Brings Underwater Ecstasy NOR TIME NOR PLACE . . . but the valiant juniors had decor in hand. Tom Hersant, ,Iere Randolph, Lynne Parsons, Kathy Elbert, and Prom chairman Tom Tomjack laid flexible plans for simulating marine beauty. On May 6, seniors and companions were sailing for Never-Never Land. While on their Way thither, their barque struck a coral reef and sank. The young people, on arriving on the ocean floor, found themselves in the ball- room of the Medford Hotel. Wandering through the wonderland beneath the sea, they discovered that the Junior Senior Prom was indeed an Underwater Ecstasy. Walls were draped with fishing nets, and olf to one side was the coral reef that had caused their visit. Throughout the room the theme was carried out With shells, glass balls, and various forms of sea life. The effect was enhanced by blue lights playing over the imaginary surface of the ocean. ODDITIES WERE GATHERED from many corners. Mike Austin models the Chinaman's yolk for carrying burdens. Fred Lucas examines the antique shotgfuns. Irene McGowan explores the workimzs of a kerosene lantern. Most interesting was the wood and tin saddle that promised no comfort to man or beast, which Maxine Stinson balances on a chair back. i-ezztswsf THIS BLUE BEHIND THAT NET, fantas- tic suggestions and some practical ones came from committee members Don Macpherson, Bob Evans, Marilyn Mcirtin, ladder-main Ron Daley, and Anne Haviland.
