WELCOME. 70 HAWAII The juniors with Steve Armie, junior class presi¬ dent, as general chairman spent weeks preparing for this year’s prom. Their efforts paid off in a lovely dance based on an ancient Hawaiian custom—the luau. Orchids and leis accented the evening, and the decorations and refreshments followed the style of our fiftieth state. The traditional candlelighting service for seniors and the singing of the school hymn were conducted by Margaret Wolf as this year’s “Spirit of WHS.” Kay Finfrock, Miss Dove, Pat Bridenthal, and Marsha Ohmart keep busy serving Hawaiian-style food to the hungry Apaches at the Prom. These senior girls line up to light their candles in preparation for the traditional farewell service. 10

AMPLER FORMS THE THEME FOR HOMECOMING¬ ' S The second place senior float demands that the Apache team twist the cat ' s tail with its motto, “Stomp those Tigers.” This junior float defies the Warsaw Tigers (masquerading here as Captain Cat) to “Catch Me If You Can. ’ “Got the Coach—Got the Team!” This freshman float re¬ flects the conviction of all Apache fans at homecoming. 9

For some unknown reason, these Apaches are just standing around; but, if they are true Apaches, they’ll be dancing soon. Apaches like to dance, and these Apaches look as though they’re gratifying their wishes. WJCk, 0 ERVBOCY, DANCE, In Childe Harold, Byron said. “On with the dance! Let joy be unconfin’d.” This year Apaches took this simple statement as a strict command. Two hun¬ dred students and chaperons enjoyed the music of the Ambassadors at the Senior Tri-Hi-Y’s Har¬ vest Ball alone. They also came out in large num¬ bers for the Sweetheart Dance, the Prom, and every after game dance. Waltzes, twists, and “rock and roll” all gave the Apaches an opportunity for fun . . . and good exercise. Sitting at their card table—but obviously not playing cards— these nondancers look at their friends on the dance floor.
