Fabulous Fifties Live Again The Bobby Sox 50’s came alive in silver and blue on April 26 at the annual Junior-Senior Prom. The junior chorus sang a few ‘‘oldie goldies.” There were twenty-four sopho- more waiters and waitresses. The girls were clad in long skirts, white blouses, bobby sox and saddle oxfords. They sported bright red lips and cheeks. The waiters wore tight jeans and white T-shirts, they even had a cigarette pack rolled up one sleeve. Let’s not forget the coolest look for guys in the fifties — that greasy, slicked-back hair. For entertainment, the waiters and waitresses danced the jitterbug. The food that was provided consisted of petite cakes, pimento cheese and chicken salad sandwiches, potato chips, pickles and coke. Queen of the prom was Brenda Sweat, her attendants were Mary Bolick, Robin Suttlemyrc, and Christy McMahan. Elaborate decorations and a good band set the mood for dancing. Background music induced slow dancing . . . and fast dancing! 16
