Photos by S:eve Marlow Summer Prelude” Is Prom Theme Each year the junior class gives the junior-senior prom in honor of the seniors, and the graduating class of 1959 was treated to a spectacular dance. The new class officers and their adviser, Mrs. Bonifant, worked at top speed to organize the various committees. Keep- ing the theme and the orchestra a secret, students ordered equipment, made arrangements for refresh- ments. and did innumerable other tasks. On the big night the gym had miraculously turned into a charm- ing garden complete with wrought-iron benches and real water fountains. The Joe Lanning orchestra was perfect for the occasion.
